CAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELLING
Always observe the following to prevent serious injuries and
accidental death when moving the Machine.
• Do not attempt looking sideways or other dangerous act
when driving.
• Do not over speed, start moving/stopping/slewing suddenly,
or meander since such acts are dangerous.
• Be sure to sit in the driver’s seat while operating this
Machine.
• Whenever you find a machine abnormality (sound, vibration,
odor, instrument error, fuel/water/oil leak, etc.), immediately
park the Machine in a safe location and investigate the
cause.
• Do not change the direction suddenly. Such may cause the
Machine to lose balance or damage the Machine or nearby
object.
• When traveling over uneven terrain, travel slowly to prevent
tripping, and avoid acute operation when changing the
direction.
• Avoid moving over obstacles.
Travel slowly when moving over an obstacle for unavoidable
reason. Also, do not move diagonally over obstacles that
cause the Machine to tilt excessively (10° or more).
• When travelling, ensure extra clearance to prevent accident
of contacting other machinery or object.
• When travelling in the water or crossing over shallow water,
check the ground condition, depth and water velocity
beforehand and make sure not to exceed the allowable
water depth (no higher than center of idler (1)).
See “OPERATION 2.12 [2] ALLOWABLE WATER
DEPTH”.
• Check the withstand ability against the Machine mass
before crossing over a bridge or construction that is a
private property.
• Do not travel with a load kept hoisted.
BE CAREFUL WHEN TRAVELLING OVER SLOPE
ALWAYS observe the following to prevent serious injuries and
death accidents when travelling over a slope for unavoidable
reason.
• Be careful of tripping and skids when travelling over slope.
• Do not travel horizontally or change orientation when
travelling over slope. Practice safe travelling by for instance
lowering to the plain land and divert.
See “OPERATION 2.12 [3] CAUTIONS ON
UPWARD/DOWNWARD SLOPE” for details.
• Beware of skidding on grass, fallen leaves, and on wet steel
plates even the slope is gentle.
Avoid the Machine from being horizontal over the slope as
much as possible, and decrease the speed sufficiently.
• Travel slowly at low speeds when going downhill. In
addition, apply the brakes (by setting the operation lever to
neutral) when necessary.
