2.7 CHANGING MACHINE TRAVELLING MODE
• Drive the machine at speeds appropriate for the ground or road conditions.
Other than adjusting the amount that you shift the control lever, you can change the
travelling speed by changing the position of the hi speed travelling change switch to
“Hi Speed Travelling Mode” or “Low Speed Travelling Mode”.
• When travelling on slopes, always set the hi speed travelling change switch to the
“OFF” (Travelling Low) position. Travelling down a slope in Hi Speed Travelling Mode
may cause the machine to overrun.
• Before changing the travelling speed mode, be sure to stop the machine.
[1] CHANGING TRAVELING SPEED MODE
Change the travelling mode with the mode selector switch
(2) (Travelling Hi/Low) on the monitor, or with the left
control lever.
• Each touch of the mode selector switch (2) (Travelling
Hi/Low) toggles the mode between “Travelling Hi” and
“Travelling Low”, and the monitor indication changes
accordingly.
2.8 CHANGING DIRECTION OF THE MACHINE
• Sudden steering or unnecessary spin turns at high speeds not only damages the
crawler belt or hydraulic devices, but also may result in a collision with other objects.
Stop the machine, and then adjust the engine speed to low before performing the spin
turns.
• Do not change the path on the slope. The machine may slip to the side. Be especially
careful on soft ground and clay soil.
[1] CHANGING MACHINE DIRECTION WHEN STOPPED
• LEFT TURN
Pushing the right control lever forward causes the machine
to turn left in the forward direction.
Pulling the right control lever toward you causes the
machine to turn left in the backward direction.
• RIGHT TURN
Pushing the left control lever forward causes the machine
to turn right in the forward direction.
Pulling the left control lever toward you causes the
machine to turn right in the backward direction.
