CAUTIONS ON OPERATING
Traveling over obstacles (rocks, stumps, etc.)
may put a great load on the machine body
and may cause damage to it. Avoid crossing
over obstacles whenever possible. If you
must do so, keep the hoe attachment near
the ground, travel at a low speed, and go
over the obstacle at the center of the crawler.
Cautions on traveling in 2nd (High) speed
•Onunevenground,maintainthelowspeed
and avoid starting, stopping or changing
directions abruptly.
•Whenaloadgreaterthanasetvalueis
applied during traveling in 2nd (high)
speed, the speed will automatically slow
down to 1st (low) speed. When the load
becomes lighter, the speed will increase
and return to 2nd (high) speed. It should be
noted that the travel speed changes
depending on the load condition.

travelingin2ndspeed,dosowith
the dozer blade at the front.
Cautions on using machine in water
If the rear of the machine is submerged in
water as shown in the figure above, it causes
the radiator fan to turn in water, resulting in
damage to the fan. The rear of the machine
must not be submerged.
•Allowablewaterdepth
Use the machine in water only when the
water is up to the bottom of the carrier
roller (1).
•Forthosepartsusedinwaterforalong
time, apply enough grease until the old
grease is expelled.
•Neversubmergetheslewbearingormain
body in water or sand. If submerged,
contact a Takeuchi service agent for
inspection.
