MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS
ESCAPE FROM MUD
Always operate carefully to avoid getting stuck in mud. If the machine does get stuck in mud, do as follows to get
the machine out.
Track on One Side Stuck
NOTICE
When using the boom or arm to raise the machine, always have the bottom
of the bucket in contact with the ground. (Never push with the teeth). The
angle between the boom and arm should be 90° to 110°.
The same applies when using the inverting bucket.
When only one side is stuck in mud, use the bucket to raise the
track, then lay boards or logs and drive the machine out.
Tracks on Both Sides Stuck
If the track on both sides are in mud and the machine slips and
cannot move, use the procedure given above to lay logs or timber.
dig the bucket into the ground at the front, operate the arm in the
same way as when digging, and set the travel lever to FORWARD
to pull the machine out.
