3.7.1 RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
When starting the engine after running out of fuel, fill with fuel and bleed the air from the fuel system before start-
ing.
For details of bleeding the air, see "4.9.3.c CHANGING THE FUEL FILTER ELEMENT (WITH WATER SEPARA-
TOR)" - " BLEEDING THE CIRCUIT".
3.7.2 PHENOMENA THAT ARE NOT FAILURES
Note that the following phenomena are not failures:
• When the arm control lever is operated to the IN position and
the work equipment is lowered under no load from a high po-
sition, the arm speed will drop momentarily when the arm is
more or less at the vertical position.
• When the bucket control lever is operated to the CURL posi-
tion and the work equipment is lowered under no load from a
high position, the bucket speed will drop momentarily when
the bucket teeth are more or less at the horizontal position.
• When starting or stopping the swing, noise will be emitted
from the brake valve.
• When going down a steep slope at low speed, a noise will be
emitted from the travel motor brake valve.
3.7.3 TOWING THE MACHINE
WARNING
• When towing the machine, use a wire rope that has ample strength for the weight of the machine that is
being towed.
• Do not apply a sudden load to the wire rope.
When the machine is stuck in soft ground and cannot escape
under its own power, or when towing a heavy machine, pass
the wire rope through the front of the track frame as shown in
the diagram on the right before carrying out towing.
Places pieces of wood between the wire ropes and the body to
prevent the wire ropes from damaging the body.
