OPERATION
Operating Procedures
Cautions on Use in Water
If you leave water at a sharp angle, the rear
of the machine may be submerged, exposing
the radiator fan to water and damaging them.
Do not let the rear of the machine get
submerged.
¡
Allowable water depth
In water, only use the machine up to a
depth at which the water comes up to the
middle of the carrier roller (1).
¡
When greasing places used under water
for long periods of time, apply enough
grease so that the old grease is expelled.
¡
Never submerge the slew bearing or main
body in water or sand. If the slew bearing
or main body should get submerged,
contact a Takeuchi sales or service outlet
for inspection.
Cautions on Operating
Cautions on Traveling
Traveling over obstacles (rocks, stumps, etc.)
may subject the body to strong shocks and
result in damage. Avoid traveling over
obstacles whenever possible. If you must do
so, keep the hoe attachment near the ground,
travel at low speed, and go over the obstacle
at the center of the crawler.
Cautions on Traveling in 2nd (High)
Speed
On uneven ground, travel at low speed and
avoid accelerating, stopping or changing
directions abruptly.
Also, when traveling in 2nd speed, do so with
the dozer blade at the front.
