MACHINE OPERATION
4-17SY95C Excavator OMM
Standard Travel Direction
0003664
Figure 4-28
The directional arrow (1) on the inside of each track
frame indicates forward movement of the machine.
Check these arrows before using the travel control
levers/pedals. The track drive sprocket is at the rear of
the track frame. If the track frame is facing backward, the
travel direction will be opposite the maneuvering direction
of the travel control lever/pedal.
This means the machine will move forward when you pull
the control levers backward and backward when you
push the control levers forward. Left and right control
directions are also reversed when the track frame faces
backward.
Travel Control
Stop the machine for 5 minutes after every 15
minutes of traveling. Prolonged traveling may
strain the travel motors.
