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 passes over the obstacle.
Folding in Work Equipment
When folding in the work equipment to the travel or transportation
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.
