3.3.9 PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
q
TRAVELLING
Travelling on big stones, logs or other obstacles subjects the
frame and in particular the tracks to considerable strain, which
damages the machine. For this reason, it is always advisable to
remove any obstacles or to avoid them, if possible.
If it is not possible to avoid going across an obstacle, reduce
translation speed, keep the working tools as close as possible
to the ground and try to move the machine, keeping the obsta-
cle equidistant from the tracks.
q
FOLDING THE WORK EQUIPMENT
When folding the work equipment to the travel or transport posi-
tion, be careful to prevent the bucket from hitting the blade.
q
AVOID HITTING THE BLADE
Be careful not to hit the blade against rocks or boulders, since
this may damage the blade or the cylinders.
q
POSITION OF THE BLADE DURING DIGGING OPERATIONS
WITH THE EXCAVATOR
When carrying out deep digging operations with the blade at the
front, be careful to prevent the boom cylinder from hitting the
blade. If possible, always position the blade at the rear of the
machine.
