SAFETY
Check the position of the
undercarriage before traveling
Check the position of the upperstructure in
relation to the undercarriage.
If the steering axle is not located beneath the
cab, changes in direction and steering wheel
turns will not coincide. Turning the wheel to
the right translates as steering to the left, and
vice versa.
Travel safety
Travel with the dozer blade and outriggers
(option) up, the hoe attachment folded as
shown on the diagram, and the bucket
raised 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16 in.) from the
ground.
Do not slew (swing) while traveling. If
you must operate the hoe attachment
while traveling, operate at speeds slow
enough so you have complete control at
all times.
Do not raise the safety lock lever while
traveling. This is dangerous, since raising
the safety lock lever will cause the parking
brake to operate and apply the brake
abruptly.
Avoid crossing over obstacles whenever
possible. If you must do so, keep the hoe
attachment close to the ground and travel
slowly. Never cross obstacles if they will
seriously tilt the machine (to an angle of
10° or greater).
On uneven ground, travel at low speed and
avoid accelerating, stopping or changing
directions abruptly.
Do not turn off the starter switch while
traveling. Doing so will activate the parking
brake, causing the machine to stop
suddenly.
When traveling, do not step on the travel
pedal for the opposite direction. Doing so
is dangerous as it causes the machine to
stop suddenly.
When roading a machine, know and use
the signaling devices required on the
machine. Provide an escort for road travel
when required.
