SAFETY
Operating Precautions
Travel safety
¡
Travel with the dozer blade up, the hoe
attachment folded as shown on the
diagram, and the bucket raised 30 to 40
cm (12 to 16 in.) from the ground.
¡
Do not slew (swing) while traveling. If you
must operate the hoe attachment while
traveling, operate at speeds slow enough
so you have complete control at all times.
¡
Avoid crossing over obstacles whenever
possible. If you must do so, keep the hoe
attachment close to the ground and travel
slowly. Never cross obstacles if they will
seriously tilt the machine (to an angle of
10
°
or greater).
¡
On uneven ground, travel at low speed
and avoid accelerating, stopping or
changing directions abruptly.
¡
When roading a machine, know and use
the signaling devices required on the
machine. Provide an escort for road travel
when required.
Check the position of the under-
carriage (tracks) before traveling
Before operating the travel levers, check to
make sure that the dozer blade is to the front
of the operator’s seat. BE AWARE that when
the dozer blade is to the rear of the operator’s
seat, the travel levers operate in the opposite
direction to when the dozer blade is in the
front.
Fully extend the crawler width
when operating
Always operate the machine with the crawler
width at the maximum to increase machine
stability. The smaller the crawler width, the
greater the possibility the machine can tip
over. If it is absolutely necessary to operate
the machine with a narrow crawler width, do
so with great care.
