13. Operating Instructions
2-51
Precautions for traveling
Driving over a stone or a stump subjects the machine (es-
pecially undercarriage) to a shock, which may cause dam-
age to the machine.
Avoid such obstacles by driving around them, or removing
them.
If driving over them is unavoidable, reduce speed, hold the
implement close to the ground, and drive over the obsta-
cles with the center of the track shoes.
Allowable water depth
IMPORTANT
When driving out of water, if the machine climbs a
slope at an angle of more than 15 degrees, the rear of
the upperstructure may submerge too deeply in the
water, which may damage the radiator fan since the ra-
diator fan paddles the water. Avoid this if possible
when driving out of water.
The limit of the water depth in which the machine can be
used in is up to the center of the carrier roller.
Apply a generous amount of grease to the moving parts
(especially bucket pin) that have been submerged in the
water for a long time until the used grease is extruded out
of the bearings.
Wipe the extruded used grease off with a waste cloth.
