CAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELING
Always observe followings to prevent serious injuries and death
accidents when the Machine is traveling.
• Do not attempt looking sideways or other dangerous act when
driving.
• Do not over speed, start moving sudden, stop sudden, swing
sudden or meander since such acts are dangerous.
• ALWAYS remain seated in the cab seat when operating during
drive.
• Whenever you find a machine abnormality (sound, vibration, odor,
instrument error, fuel leak, water leak or oil leak), immediately park
the Machine in a safe location and inspect the cause.
• Do not operate to suddenly change the direction. Such may cause
the Machine to lose the balance or to damage the Machine or
nearby object.
• When traveling over uneven terrain, travel as slow as possible to
prevent tripping, and avoid acute operation when changing the
direction.
• Avoid moving over obstacles as much as possible.
Travel as slowly as possible when moving over an obstacle for
unavoidable reason. Also, do not move diagonally over obstacles
that cause the Machine to tilt excessively (10 degrees or more).
• When traveling, ensure extra clearance to prevent accident of
contacting other machinery or object.
• When traveling in the water or crossing over shallow water, check
the ground condition, depth and water velocity beforehand and
make sure not to exceed the allowable water depth (no higher than
center of idler (1)).
See “Operation 2.12 [2] Allowable Water Depth” for details.
• Check the withstand ability against the Machine mass before
crossing over a bridge or construction that is a private property. In
case of highway, ask the applicable road management
administration and follow the given advice.
• Do Not travel with load hoisted.
BE CAREFUL WHEN TRAVELING OVER SLOPE
ALWAYS observe followings to prevent serious injuries and death
accidents when traveling over a slope for unavoidable reason.
• Be careful of tripping and skids when traveling over slope.
• Do not change orientation on or horizontally when traveling over
slope. Practice safe traveling by for instance lowering to the plain
land and divert.
See “Operation 2.12 [3] Cautions on Upward/downward slope”
for details.
• Skids happen more than you think on grasses, fallen leaves, and on
wet steel plates.
Avoid the Machine from being horizontal over the slope as much as
possible, and decrease the speed sufficiently.
• Travel slowly by low speed when traveling downhill. In addition,
brake (by setting the travel lever to neutral) as necessary.
