PRECAUTIONS IN TRAVELING
When traveling the machine on a shoulder or in a narrow place, place the signal person to direct
operations.
Do not load other persons on the machine.
1.
Check the position of travel motor (1) before operating the control levers to start traveling.
2.
Travel on the level and firm ground as much as possible. Also travel in straight and large radius
curve as much as possible, avoiding an abrupt pivot turn.
In a narrow area, turn the machine in the opposite direction as many times as possible.
3.
Survey the strength of bridges and shoulders, and strengthen them if necessary.
4.
Be careful not to touch a bridge beam and electrical power line.
5.
Traveling on a rough road has a great impact on the machine. Reduce the engine speed and
use the LOW (1st) speed.
6.
Be careful not to hit travel motor (1) with a boulder or run on a boulder to add an excessive
load to the crawlers.
7.
On a snowy or icy road, travel slowly and avoid an dash start, stop and turn.
8.
Before loading and unloading the machine from a truck or trailer for transportation, remove mud
and dirt of the undercarriage to prevent a skid due to shoe clogging on the ramps.
For how to use ramps, see "TRANSPORTATION of "HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR"in Chapter 5.
