In case both tracks get bogged
In case that both tracks get bogged down, put
planks under each track. Thrust the bucket into the
ground, pull with the arm as when digging, and
move the travel lever forward to escape.
Permissible depth of water
When wading with the machine across a water
course, use the bucket as a "feeler" if the water is
muddy. The water course may have hidden
obstacles under the surface or the depth may
change suddenly, endangering the operator and
the machine. While wading, stop the machine now
and then and swing the bucket sideways just above
the bottom. This operation reveals stones or other
obstacles. Prod the bottom with the bucket to
measure the depth in order to discover any
dangerous hollows.
NOTICE
Pay attention to the permissible water depth in
order to avoid damage to the machine.
Permissible working depth in water is the center of
upper rollers.
Do not fully submerge the upper rollers.
Upon leaving the water, make sure all the grease is
replenished in the areas affected by the water, for
example bucket pin and so on, remove the old
grease completely regardless of the maintenance
period. Also check the oil in the travel drive for
contamination, and if necessary, replace it.
