Operation
Telescopic travel gear
Warning!
WARNING
Injury hazard due to tipping over of machine!
Can cause serious injury or death.
•
Only perform work with an extended telescopic travel gear.
•
Traveling with a retracted telescopic travel gear is only allowed for traveling
very short distances through passages.
Pay attention to the reduced stability.
•
Retract or extend the telescopic travel gear completely.
•
Position the boom upward during uphill travel.
•
Position the boom downward during downhill travel.
•
Raise the boom about 20 – 30 cm (8 – 12 in) off the ground and position it
straight ahead at the center of the machine. In an emergency, lower the
boom immediately to increase stability.
This prevents the machine from tipping over in case of a hydraulic hose
rupture on the telescopic cylinder. A hydraulic hose rupture might cause the
travel gear to retract and reduce stability.
Warning!
WARNING
Crushing hazard when retracting the telescopic travel gear!
Can cause serious injury or death.
•
Do not allow anyone to stay in the danger zone.
NOTICE
In order to avoid damage to the machine when traveling through doors frames
etc.:
•
Pay attention to the width of the stabilizer blade and of the telescopic travel
gear when traveling through passages.
•
Adjust the stabilizer blade and the telescopic travel gear to the same widths
when operating the machine.
Information!
In order to achieve the best possible stability, lower the stabilizer blade, turn
out the extensions (option) and extend the telescopic travel gear.
