Telescopic travel gear (option)
Crushing hazard due to tipping over of the machine.
Can result in severe injury or death.
► Only perform machine operation with an extended telescopic
travel gear.
► Traveling with a retracted telescopic travel gear is only
allowed for traveling very short distances. Pay attention to the
reduced stability.
► Retract or extend the telescopic travel gear completely.
► Raise the boom about 20 – 30 cm (8 – 12 in) off the ground
and position it straight ahead at the center of the machine. In
an emergency, lower the boom immediately to increase
stability.
This prevents the machine from tipping over in case of a hose
rupture on the telescopic hydraulic cylinder. A hose rupture
versmight cause the travel gear to retract and reduce stability.
Crushing hazard when retracting the telescopic travel gear!
Can result in severe injury or death.
► Do not allow anyone to stay in the danger zone.
In order to avoid damage to the machine when traveling through
door frames etc.:
► Pay attention to the width of the stabilizer blade and of the
telescopic travel gear when traveling through passages.
► Adjust the stabilizer blade and the telescopic travel gear to
the same widths when operating the machine.
