Precaution after Operation
Please abide by the following precaution to prevent the movement failure of machine due to
frozen mud, water, or underframe.
Remove all mud and water from machine body. Especially, wipe clean the hydraulic cylinder rod
to prevent the ingress of rod surface mud and dusts into the seals along with water drops from
damaging the seals.
Park the machine on a solid and dry ground. If impossible, park the machine on a ground paved
with wood boards.
Fully drain the water from fuel tank to prevent freezing.
As the battery capacity will drop remarkably in low temperature environment, cover the battery
or take the battery out of the machine and store it in a
warm place. If the electrolyte level is too low, add distilled water before starting operations in the
morning. To prevent the freezing of battery electrolyte at nighttime, do not add water after the
daytime operations.
After Cold Weathers
When the weather becomes warm, fulfill the following operations.
Replace the fuel and lubricating oil
If the single-season type coolant is used, fully drain the cooling system, thoroughly clean the
inside of cooling system, and then add running water.
Handling of Rubber Tracks
This machine is equipped with rubber tracks
and the rubber tracks have their intrinsic
weakness, namely low strength. Please ensure
to abide by the following prohibitions and
precaution to prevent damage and falloff of
rubber tracks.
Driving the machine on a riverbed or place with
numerous pebbles can probably result in
inclusion of pebbles in the tracks and the
damage or falloff of tracks.
Driving and steering the machine on gravels, rough and hard rocks, steel beams, or scrap irons or
near the edges of steel plates will damage the rubber tracks.
Do not operate this machine by the sea. The salt content may corrode the steel core.
Keep the tracks away from the adhesion of fuel, lubricating oil, salt, and chemical solvent. These
substances may corrode the welds of track steel cores to cause rusting or falloff. Such substances
