When traveling on water, the requirements for water speed, wave height, and wind speed
are as follows:
a) The water speed should be less than 24 m/min (1.31 feet/second).
b) The wave height should be less than 0.1 m (3.93 in).
c) The wind speed should be less than 240 m/min (8.94 mph).

1.
Check the water depth before launching the machine. Do not directly launch the machine
into the water as it may overturn.
2.
When entering the water, the recommended launching site should be a ramp with a less
than 30-degree slope, to prevent the machine from tipping over.
Note:
The launching slope should go as far as a water depth of not more than 2 meters.
Refer to Figure 3.2.
3.
If the slope is hard ground, the maximum permissible angle will be 15 degrees.
4.
If the above conditions are not met, the bucket may be used to create a path into the
water.
