OPERATING PROCEDURES
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 bucket near the
ground, travel at a low speed, and go over
the obstacle at the center of the track.
Cautions on traveling in 2nd (High) speed
On uneven ground, maintain the low speed
and avoid starting, stopping or changing
directions abruptly.
Cautions on using machine in water
• 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 bottom of the chassis
(ground clearance of undercarriage).
• For those parts used in water for a long
time, apply enough grease until the old
grease is expelled.
• Never submerge the chassis in water or
sand. If submerged, contact a Takeuchi
service agent for inspection.
