WHEN TRAVELLING
WHEN TRAVELING:PC-0000-186K00A
Serious personal injury can result from tipping over of the travelling machine or its accidental contact. Always
observe the following.
q
When travelling or carrying out operations, always keep a safe distance from people, structures, or other
machines to avoid coming into contact with them.
q
When travelling on the level ground, keep the work equip-
ment approximately 40 to 50 cm above the ground. Other-
wise, the work equipment may contact to the ground and
the machine may be turned over.
q
If the view to the right side is poor, raise the boom to ensure
better visibility.
q
Always turn the auto-deceleration switch OFF when travel-
ling on rough ground or steep slopes. If the machine is
operated with the auto-deceleration system ON, the engine
speed will rise and the machine travel speed may suddenly
become faster.
q
Avoid travelling over obstacles when possible. If the
machine has to travel over an obstacle, keep the work
equipment close to the ground and travel at low speed.
There is more danger of the machine tipping over to the left
or right than tipping over to the front or rear, so do not travel
over obstacles which make the machine tilt strongly to the
left or right sides.
q
When travelling on rough ground, travel at low speed and
do not operate the steering suddenly. There is danger that
the machine may turn over. The work equipment may hit the
ground surface and cause the machine to lose its balance,
or may damage the machine or structures in the area.
q
When using the machine, to prevent personal injury caused
by damage to the work equipment or by the machine over-
turning due to overloading, do not exceed the permitted
performance of the machine or the maximum permitted load
for the structure of the machine.
q
When passing over bridges or structures, check first that the structure is strong enough to support the weight
of the machine.
q
When operating in tunnels, under bridges, under electric wires, or other places where the height is limited,
operate slowly and be extremely careful not to let the machine body or work equipment hit anything.
WHEN TRAVELLING ON SLOPES
When travelling on slopes:PC-0000-187K00A
To prevent the machine from tipping over or slipping to the side, always do as follows.
q
Keep the work equipment approximately 20 to 30 cm
above the ground. In case of emergency, lower the work
equipment to the ground immediately to help stopping the
machine.
q
When travel up slopes, set the operator's cab facing uphill,
when travel down slopes, set the operator's cab facing
downhill. Always check the firmness of the ground under
the front of the machine when travelling.
