Precautions for traveling
Driving over a stone or a stump subjects the machine (es-
pecially undercarriage) to a shock, which may cause dam-
age to the machine.
Avoid such obstacles by driving around them, or removing
them.
If driving over them is unavoidable, reduce speed, hold the
implement close to the ground, and drive over the obsta-
cles with the center of the track shoes.
„
Allowable water depth
IMPORTANT
When driving out of water, if the machine climbs a
slope at an angle of more than 15 degrees, the rear of
the upper structure may submerge too deeply in the
water, which may damage the radiator fan. Avoid this
if possible when driving out of water.
The maximum water depth in which the machine can be
used is up to the center of the shoe slide plate.
Apply a generous amount of grease to the moving parts
that have been submerged in the water for a long time until
the used grease is extruded out of the bearings.
Wipe away the extruded used grease.
