Operating Precautions
Travel safety
Travel with the dozer blade up, the hoe
attachment folded as shown on the
diagram, and the bucket raised 30 to 40
cm (12 to 16 in.) from the ground.
Do not slew (swing) while traveling. If
you must operate the hoe attachment
while traveling, operate at speeds slow
enough so you have complete control at
all times.
Avoid crossing over obstacles whenever
possible. If you must do so, keep the
hoe attachment close to the ground and
travel slowly. Never cross obstacles if
they will seriously tilt the machine (to an
angle of 10° or greater).
On uneven ground, travel at low speed
and avoid accelerating, stopping or
changing directions abruptly.
When roading a machine, know and
use the signaling devices required on
the machine. Provide an escort for road
travel when required.
Check the position of the
undercarriage (tracks) before
traveling
Before operating the travel levers, check
to make sure that the dozer blade is to the
front of the operator’s seat. BE AWARE that
when the dozer blade is to the rear of the
operator’s seat, the travel levers operate in
the opposite direction to when the dozer
blade is in the front.
