When one side of the machine gets caught in
the soft ground, use the bottom of the bucket
to push a plank or others laid on the ground to
lift up the caught shoe, and put logs or lumbers
beneath the crawler belt to escape from the
soft ground.
When both sides of the crawlers get caught in
the mud and the machine does not move due
to slip, put logs or boards as described above,
wedge the bucket into the escape side ground,
and then operate the travel levers to move to
the escape side while pulling the arm just like
digging to pull out the machine.
If the machine cannot travel due to the
clogged mud and gravel in the crawlers after
traveling on the soft ground, lift each crawler off
the ground by pushing the boom and arm to
the ground and shake the mud or gravel off the
crawler.
Gravel, or mud clogged in a crawler can be
cleared by lifting the crawler up and moving it
forward and reverse.

GETTING OUT OF SOFT GROUND
Avoid traveling on the soft ground if possible.
Be careful not to get stuck in the mud.
In case of being stuck in the mud, get out of it using the procedure below.
WHEN ONE SIDE OF MACHINE GETS CAUGHT IN SOFT GROUND
When using the boom and arm to lift up the machine, use the bottom of the bucket, not the teeth, to
push the ground. Raise the dozer and keep the crossing angle of the boom and arm 90 to 110
degrees.
When Both Sides of Machine Get Caught in Soft Ground
Operate the machine at the operator's seat. Do not permit for people to gain access to the machine.
