DRIVING THE MACHINE
Travel Levers (ZX17U-5A)
Travel operation can be performed with the mechanical levers.
d
WARNING: In the standard traveling position, the
front idlers are located in front of the operator’s seat
and the travel motors at the rear. If the travel motors
are positioned at the front of the machine, when the
travel levers are operated in the direction as illustrated
on the operation decals, the travel direction of the
machine will be reversed. Be sure to confirm the
position of the travel motors before traveling.
IMPORTANT: Because of the hydraulic circuit structure,
the arm and bucket will not move while operating
the travel lever in the full stroke. When combined
operation is needed, set the travel lever in an
intermediate position.
f
NOTE: Travel lever dampers are provided for smooth control.
In extremely cold weather (lower than -20 °C), the travel lever
will become heavy to operate. This is caused by increase in oil
viscosity which is not abnormal.
• Forward/Reverse Travel
Move both levers forward together to travel forward.
Pull the levers back together to travel in reverse. The travel
speed can be controlled by adjusting the lever operating
stroke.
• Ascending/Descending Slopes
The machine gradeability is 25° (47%). Slowly operate
the travel levers when descending a slope. When the
travel levers are placed in neutral, the travel brakes are
automatically applied to stop the machine.
