•
Do not operate the machine on a surface covered by
small stones that could cause track skidding or damage.
•
Avoid premature track wear or damage. Do not operate
the machine on new asphalt or other hot surfaces.
•
Do not allow fuels, oils, salt, or chemical solvents to
make contact with the tracks. These substances will
erode the track links and cause rusting and peeling.
Wash these substances off the tracks immediately with
clean water.
•
Avoid operation of the machine in a marine
environment. Salt in seawater can damage the tracks.
Rinse the tracks if they were exposed to salt or salt
water.
Operations in Water
Observe the following when operating the machine in
water:
•
Do not drive the machine where the water level
could reach the center of the carrier rollers (1).
•
Grease the parts that have been submerged until the
old grease has been displaced from the bearing (especially from the bucket pin).
•
Do not operate the machine in water unless the work site foundation is strong enough to properly support
the machine.
•
Continuously monitor the condition of the machine when operating in water. Move the machine to a
different location if necessary.
•
Make sure that the swing bearing, swing drive gear, and swivel do not become submerged in water.
NOTE:
If the swing bearing, swing drive gear, or swivel have been submerged in water, they must be cleaned.
Lubricate the swing drive gear and swing bearing.
NOTICE!
• Operate the machine slowly when traveling through water. Check the depth of the water
with the bucket. Do not operate the machine in a marine environment. Salt in seawater can
damage the tracks.
• When driving the machine out of water on a grade steeper than 15°, the rear of the upper
structure may be submerged in water. The radiator fan may sustain water damage that can
damage the machine or cause the equipment to operate improperly.
