2.12 CAUTIONS IN DRIVING
Not observing these cautions while driving will result in serious accidents.
[1] CAUTIONS IN DRIVING
Driving over boulder stones or a stump not only causes
overturning of the machine, but also gives an impact to the
machine (especially around crawlers), causing breakage.
Avoid or remove any obstacles do not travel over them
whenever possible.
If you have to travel over obstacles, be sure to take the
“travelling posture” to lower the center of gravity, and
reduce the travelling speed as much as possible so that the
machine will go over the obstacles at the center of the
crawlers.
NOTES
See “OPERATION 2.5 MACHINE TRAVELLING
POSTURE” for the travelling posture of the machine.
[2] ALLOWABLE WATER DEPTH
Keep water level below the center of the idler (1).
[3] CAUTIONS ON UPWARD/DOWNWARD SLOPE
• While the machine is travelling, if it tilts at an angle of “15 degrees” or greater towards
the front, back, or either side of the slope, it may overturn. Do not travel on a slope of
more inclination.
• When travelling on slopes, always set the travelling speed selector switch to the
“OFF” (Traveling Low) position. Travelling down a slope in Hi Speed Travelling Mode
may cause the machine to overrun.
• Slopes inclined by 15 degrees or more present an
overturning hazard. Do not travel on these slopes.
• When travelling on slopes, always set the travelling
speed selector switch to the “Travelling Low” position.
Failure to observe this may cause the machine to
overrun.
• Never change the direction on the slope or drive parallel
to the slope.
Travel safely by going down to level ground and taking a
detour.
