SIDE FRAME EXTEND / RETRACT LEVER
To adjust the side frame width, operate side frame extend
/retract lever (1) as illustrated to the right.
WARNING: Operate the machine with the side
frames fully extended (1280 mm) or retracted (970
mm). If the machine is operated with the side
frames extended insufficiently, the extended side
frames are not securely held, causing the upper
structure to keep moving and constituting a
safety hazard. Operate the machine with the side
frames fully retracted only when traveling
through a flat narrow work site. Except for this
condition, whenever traveling the machine,
performing excavation, or operating the blade, be
sure to fully extend the side frames. Failure to do
so may cause the machine to turn over.
IMPORTANT: Before extending or retracting the side
frames, park the machine on a level
surface with no obstructions and
remove packed mud or gravel from the
side frame extend / retract mechanism if
any.
Operating the side frame extend / retract lever.
1. Pull up side frame extend /retract lever (1) to extend
the side frame.
2. Push down side frame extend /retract lever (1) to
retract the side frame.
