12.11 PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
‡ When traveling on roads in rain or snow, or when traveling on
muddy or soft ground, consider the loaded condition of the
dump truck and be extremely careful not to let the tires slip or
spin and sink into the ground.
‡ If the engine should stop when the machine is traveling, stop the
machine immediately, then move the speed lever to the N
position, and start the engine again.
‡ If the central warning lamp and pilot lamp for any EMERGENCY
item on the machine monitor should flash and the buzzer sounds
during operation, stop the machine immediately and invest the
cause.
For details, see “16. TROUBLESHOOTING”.
‡ When loading, be careful to load the dump body uniformly, and
be particularly careful to avoid loading too much at the front.
‡ On slippery road surfaces, apply the retarder control lever slowly
and shift the transmission down to prevent the rear wheels from
locking.
‡ When traveling through pools of water, water may get inside the
front brakes and cause a big drop in the braking force, so drive
carefully in such areas. If water should get into the brakes, apply
the brakes several times while traveling to produce friction heat
between the pad and disc to remove the water.
NOTICE
If letter “E-” and any of action code “01” to “07” are displayed
