DRIVING THE MACHINE
4-5
TRAVELING ON SOFT GROUND
Avoid traveling on soft ground as much as possible. If
traveling on a soft ground is unavoidable, carefully operate
the machine while observing the following points.
•
Drive the machine as far as the machine can move by
own propelling power. Towing machine may become
necessary. Do not drive the machine to a deeper
location than towing machine is possible.
•
In case it becomes impossible for the machine to
travel by own propelling power, lower the bucket to the
ground. While supporting the machine weight with the
boom and the arm, slowly pull the arm to evacuate the
machine. Operate the boom, arm, and travel levers
simultaneously at this time to prevent the machine
from being loaded abnormally.
•
If the track frame bottom come in contact with the
ground, or if mud and/or grabbles are tightly packed
into the undercarriage, the machine may become
impossible to travel. Raise one side track above the
ground with the boom and arm extended, remove mud
and/or grabbles from the track. Then, evacuate the
machine. Rotate the raised track in forward or reverse
directions alternately to remove the packed rocks
and/or mud from the track.
•
Tow the machine with other machine if the machine
becomes stuck in soft ground and impossible to
evacuate by own propelling power. Refer to the
descriptions for TOWING MACHINE on the next page
for the correct rope attaching method.
