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 shoe slide (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 Traveling on Slopes
WARNING
�
Never exceed the machine’s stability
capabilities (maximum gradeability
–30°, lateral tipping angle –15°). Also
note that when actual working area
conditions are poor the machine’s
stability capabilities may be lower.
�
When traveling on slopes or grades,
lower the bucket to a height of 20 to
30 cm (8 to 12 in.) off the ground. In
emergencies, lower the bucket to the
ground and stop the machine.
�
When traveling on slopes or grades,
move slowly in first gear (low speed).
�
Do not travel down slopes in reverse.
�
Do not change directions or cross
slopes sideways. First return to a flat
surface then redirect the machine.
�
On grass, dead leaves, wet metal or
frozen surfaces, the machine may
slide sideways even on very gentle
slopes. Make sure the machine never
faces sideways with respect to the
slope.
