OPERATING THE MACHINE
5-12
OPERATE THE MACHINE SAFELY
WARNING: Prevent the machine from tipping
over and from being involved in a ground col-
lapse. Take the necessary precautions as follows:
•
Make sure the worksite has sufficient strength
to firmly support the machine.
When working close to an excavation or at road
shoulders, operate the machine with the tracks
positioned perpendicular to the cliff face with
travel motors at the rear, so that the machine
can more easily evacuate if the cliff face col-
lapses.
•
If working on the bottom of a cliff or a high
bank is required, be sure to investigate the area
first and confirm that no danger of the cliff or
bank collapsing exists. If any possibility of cliff
or bank collapsing exists, do not work on the
area.
•
Soft ground may collapse when operating the
machine on it, possibly causing the machine to
tip over. When working on a soft ground is re-
quired, be sure to reinforce the ground first
using large pieces of steel plates strong and
firm enough to easily support the machine.
•
Note that there is always a possibility of ma-
chine tipping over when working on rough ter-
rain or on slopes. Prevent machine tipping over
from occurring. When operating on rough ter-
rain or on slopes:
•
Reduce the engine speed.
•
Select slow travel speed mode.
•
Operate the machine slowly and be cau-
tious with machine movements.
