OPERATION
Cautions on using machine in water
Traveling over obstacles (rocks, stumps, etc.)
may put a great load on the machine body
and may cause damage to it. Avoid crossing
over obstacles whenever possible. If you
must do so, keep the hoe attachment near
the ground, travel at a low speed, and go
over the obstacle at the center of the crawler.

CAUTIONS ON OPERATING
Cautions on traveling
• On uneven ground, maintain the low speed
and avoid starting, stopping or changing
directions abruptly.
• When traveling in 2nd speed, do so with
the dozer blade at the front.
If the rear of the machine is submerged in
water as shown in the figure above, it causes
the radiator fan to turn in water, resulting in
damage to the fan. The rear of the machine
must not be submerged.
• Allowable water depth
Use the machine in water only when the
water is up to the middle of the carrier roller
(1).
• For those parts used in water for a long
time, apply enough grease until the old
grease is expelled.
• Never submerge the slew bearing or main
body in water or sand. If submerged,
contact a Takeuchi service agent for
inspection.
