Working under the machine is extremely dangerous if the tracks are off the
ground and if the machine is only supported by the attachment.
Caution, danger!
☞ Ensure that no-one is in the danger area!
☞ Support the machine so as to allow the tracks to sag freely.
☞ Stop the machine on firm, level and horizontal ground
☞ Raise the machine evenly and horizontally
☞ Raise the machine by means of the boom and the stabiliser blade
☞ Slowly and carefully actuate the control levers
☞ The rubber track has a mark B as shown in Fig. 60
☞ Place the machine so that mark B of the rubber track is between the drive pinion C and
the track tension roller D
