STARTING
(FORWARD/REVERSE) AND
STOPPING THE MACHINE
WARNING
• Check the direction of the track frame
before operating the travel levers.
When the track frame faces backward (i.e.,
when the sprocket is at the front), the
direction of the travel lever operation will be
opposite to the direction of the machine
movement.
• Do not allow anyone near the machine.
• Clear the route of any obstructions.
• Check for safety in the vicinity of the
machine, and sound the horn before
starting to move the machine.
• The rear of the machine body is a blind
spot. Be sure to check your surroundings
visually before reversing. The camera
should be used to complement visual
checking.
• Depressing the accelerator pedal while
travelling is dangerous as it will cause the
machine to move suddenly. Be sure to
operate the pedal cautiously.
• When travelling, check that the travelling
alarm operates normally.
• All crane operations are disabled while the
crane is travelling. Stop the machine before
performing crane operations such as
slewing.
 If the machine does not travel at the proper
speed in low temperatures, allow it to warm
up sufficiently. If the machine does not travel
at the proper speed due to sand or mud on
the undercarriage, remove the sand and
mud.
 When the hook block is in the simple
stowage position, it may be loosened by
vibration during travelling. If this occurs,
simply stow the hook block in the simple
stowage position again.
