3.3.9 GENERAL OPERATION INFORMATION
• Traveling
Traveling over boulders, tree stumps, or other obstacles will
cause a big shock to the chassis (and in particular to the
tracks), and this will cause damage to the machine. For this
reason, always remove any obstacles or travel around them,
or take other steps to avoid traveling over such obstacles as
far as possible.
If there is no way to avoid traveling over an obstacle, reduce
the travel speed, keep the work equipment close to the
ground, and try to travel so that the center of the track pass-
es over the obstacle.
• Folding in Work Equipment
When folding in the work equipment to the travel or transpor-
tation posture, be careful not to let the bucket hit the blade.
• Avoid Hitting Blade
Be careful not to hit the blade against rocks or boulders. This
will cause premature damage to the blade or cylinders.
• Blade During Backhoe Operations
When carrying out deep digging operations with the blade at
the front, be careful not to the boom cylinder hit the blade.
Always position the blade at the back unless it is needed at
the front.
