022-00028AE Operation and Maintenance Manual
IF ENGINE STALLS WHILE TRAVELING
BRAKE SYSTEM: The brakes can be applied approximately 9 times by pressing the brake pedal due to the
oil pressure stored in the accumulator after engine is turned "OFF" if the engine stalls while traveling,
move to an out of traffic area and park. Do not pump the brake pedal at this time; otherwise the brake
oil pressure will be used up, thus causing the brakes to fail.
ALLOWABLE WATER DEPTH
The water depth is an important factor to take into consideration when the loader is working in swampy
areas. Do not enter water whose depth exceeds the loader’s minimum ground clearance height or is high
enough to wet the bottom of the axle housing. As a rule of thumb, the allowable water depth is about 400
mm. This means that the loader should not be used in a river.
Observe the following conditions:
1.
Check the water depth in advance when crossing across a river.
2.
Use the same precautions before crossing across a swampy area.
3.
Do not enter rivers whose river bed is steep or has a rapid flow.
CAUTION!
Avoid use of the loader in salt water. Salt water will cause the development of rust which will
shorten the life of the loader.
