[3] ALLOWABLE WATER DEPTH
If the climbing posture of sharp angle of "15 degrees"
or more is taken, when the machine comes out of water,
the revolving super structure may be submerged in
water and the engine fan may stir up water, resulting in
breakage of the fan. Pay due attention when letting the
machine come out of water.
Use this machine in water, only to the depth of under the
center of the upper carrier roller (1).
Securely grease the lubrication points which are submerged
in water for a long time until the old grease squeezes out.
[4] PRECAUTIONS IN TRAVELLING ON SLOPE
• Be careful of tripping and skidding when travelling over a
slope.
• When the machine is inclined at 15 degrees or more by a
slope, the inclination alarm operates and the buzzer
sounds. When the buzzer sounds, do not travel any further
and stop. Then, move to a safe place and change the
direction.
•
When travelling on a hill, be sure to take the travelling
posture in which the hook block is stowed in the normal
stowage position in the
front of the revolving super
structure.
The hook block which is stowed in the simple
stowage position at the boom tip may be loosened during
travelling. See "OPERATION 3.7
MACHINE TRAVELLING
POSTURE" for the travelling posture of the machine.
• On a hill the inclination of which is 10
degrees or more,
travel uphill in a backward movement and travel downhill
in forward movement. Always travel so that the front of the
machine faces the valley side. If the machine travels uphill
in forward movement and downhil
l in backward
movement, the machine becomes unstable, resulting in
danger of tipping over or side slipping.
• When travelling on a slope, face the machine perpendicular
to the slant face and never change the direction or travel
transversely. Practice safe
travelling by for instance
travelling down to the level ground and diverting.
• Always keep these conditions during running so that the
Machine can stop any time when it slips or becomes
unstable.
