General information regarding work operation
Travel operation
Performing machine travel over obstacles (rocks, tree stumps, etc.) can
put a heavy load on the undercarriage, and cause damage. Avoid
performing machine travel over obstacles if possible.
If it cannot be avoided, lower the boom to ground level and travel over the
obstacle at low speed at the middle of the running gear.
Drive operation in high speed
Perform machine travel slowly on rough terrain and avoid starting
machine travel and stopping abruptly as well as changing direction
suddenly.
The stabilizer blade must be at the front during high speed machine travel.
Operation in water
Do not immerse the rear end of the machine in water. Bear this in mind in
particular when leaving water, in order not to damage the machine.
Water must not reach any further than the upper edge of the tensioning
wheel.
Lubricate lubrication points again that were immersed in water for a longer
time in order to expel the old grease.
Never immerse the live ring or the upper carriage in water.
