2. Set the arm and boom to an angle of 90
to 110
°
.
3. Press the bottom of the bucket (not the
teeth) against the ground.
4. Place a plank, etc., under the lifted crawler.
5. Lift the bucket and slowly move out of the
mud.
If both crawlers are stuck
1. Perform steps 1 to 4 above for both
crawlers.
2. Dig the bucket into the ground in front of
the machine.

simultaneously to slowly move out of the

Do not open the door while traveling on

Opening the door while traveling on slopes
is dangerous, as the force required to open
and close the door changes abruptly. Always
keep the door closed when traveling on
slopes.
