travel. This can damage the hydraulic cylinder.
• Do not allow the bucket to come in contact with
the tracks when excavating at an angle.
• Do not allow the boom or arm hydraulic
cylinder’s hoses to come into contact with the
ground.
Operate the machine using the following applications.
The scope of application can also be expanded by using
various optional attachments.
