MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS
• When traveling up a steep hill of more than 15 °, set the
work equipment to the posture shown in the figure.
(a) : 20 to 30 cm
Braking on downhill slope
Set the travel lever in NEUTRAL position, and the brake is applied automatically.
If engine stops
If the engine stops when traveling uphill, move the travel levers to NEUTRAL position, lower the bucket to the
ground, stop the machine, then start the engine again.
When operating on slope
• Never perform the swing operation on a slope by using the left work equipment control lever if the engine is
stopped. Otherwise, the upper structure will swing under its own weight.
• Do not open or close the slide door while traveling or operating the machine on a slope. The operating effort
may suddenly change.
Always keep the slide door locked.
• When opening or closing the slide door while the machine is stopped, take extreme care. The door opens
or closes suddenly under its own weight, and it is dangerous.
Pay attention to DEF level
Before working on a slope or traveling on a rough ground, check DEF tank and add sufficient amount of DEF as
necessary. If the remaining DEF level becomes low, sudden drop of its level or abnormality in urea SCR system
may be detected. If DEF level caution lamp or DEF system caution lamp lights up in red, move the machine to a
level place immediately and add DEF.
METHOD FOR ESCAPING FROM MUD
Always operate carefully to avoid getting stuck in mud. If the machine does get stuck in mud, do as follows to
get the machine out.
METHOD FOR ESCAPING WHEN TRACK ON ONE SIDE IS STUCK
NOTICE
When using the boom or arm to raise the machine, push the ground by using the bottom of the bucket.
(Do not raise with the teeth in contact with the ground)
The angle between the boom and arm should be 90° to 110°.
The same applies when using the bucket installed in the reverse direction.
When the track on either side gets stuck, pull out the machine according to the following procedure.
1.
Move the bucket to the side of the stuck track and press
the ground with it.
The track is raised.
2.
Place logs, wooden blocks, etc. under the track.
