Travelling (Drive and Steer)
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN APPROACHING A CREST OF ANY TERRAIN
OBSTACLE. CHECK FOR CURBS, LARGE STONES, OR OTHER TERRAIN OBSTA-
CLES INCLUDING OVERHEAD OBSTACLES AS THE MACHINE WILL MAKE
UNCONTROLLED PIVOTING MOTIONS WHEN THE CENTER OF GRAVITY
(CEN-
TER OF TRACK FRAME)
SHIFTS OVER AN EDGE. SLOW DOWN TO MINIMIZE
ACCELERATION DURING PIVOTING MOVEMENT.
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE.
•
To drive straight forward or reverse, move the control-
lers for both tracks at the same time, direction and posi-
tion.
•
Always fully widen the track prior to driving, if possible,
for easier steering and increased stability.
•
Always travel in the slow speed setting unless the travel
path is firm, level and uniform.
Travelling (Grades and Side Slopes)
TO AVOID LOSS OF TRAVEL CONTROL OR "TIP OVER", FULLY WIDEN TRACKS,
AND DO NOT DRIVE MACHINE ON GRADES EXCEEDING 25 DEGREES (40%).
USE RAMPS WHEN TRAVELLING ON STEPS OR OTHER SURFACES THAT ARE
NOT SMOOTH OR HAVE GOOD TRACTION.
WHEN DRIVING ON SIDESLOPES, FULLY WIDEN THE TRACKS AND EXTEND
THE LOW SIDE OUTRIGGERS UNTIL THEY ARE CLOSE TO THE GROUND TO
HELP PREVENT A TIP-OVER IF A CHANGE IN SURFACE OCCURS. (SEE FIGURE
4-2.)
DRIVE ON SIDESLOPES WITH THE BOOM STOWED. DO NOT DRIVE ON SIDES-
LOPES WHICH EXCEED 14 DEGREES.
