GENERAL OPERATION INFORMATION 3
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.
High Speed Travel
On uneven roadbeds such as rock beds or uneven roads with
large rocks, travel at Lo speed. When traveling at high speed,
set the idler in the forward direction.
q
Press travel speed selector switch (1) to switch the travel
speed. The travel speed (Lo, Mi, Hi) is displayed on the
travel speed monitor (2).
