13. Operating Instructions
2-54
Carefully operate the machine not to allow it to get mired
in mud. If the machine is mired in mud, the machine can
escape as follows:
13-12-1. If only one track is mired in the mud
If only one track is mired in the mud, place the bucket on
the muddy side, lift the track above the ground, lay a log or
a wood block under the track shoe, and raise the bucket to
escape.
IMPORTANT
When lifting the machine above the ground with the
boom or the arm, press on the ground with the bottom
of the bucket. (Do not press on the ground with the
bucket teeth.)
In doing this, the angle between the boom and the arm
should be 90 degrees to 110 degrees.
The same manner as above should be applied when
the bucket is in the reverse position.
13-12-2. If both tracks are mired in the mud
If both tracks are mired in the mud, lay a log or a wood
block under the track shoes in the same manner as men-
tioned above, dig the bucket into the solid ground, retract
the arm just as when excavating, and set the travel lever to
the "FORWARD" position to escape from the mud.
