In case of shoes slipping
If the shoes slip on a slope, thrust bucket into the
ground, and pull the dipper arm in to assist the track
drive to move the machine up the slope.
In case of engine failure
In case of engine shut down while travelling on a
slope, put the travel lever to neutral position and
lower bucket down to the ground, then start the
engine.
If the engine shuts down on a slope, do not operate
the swing function, since the superstructure may be
swung under its own weight and cause tipping or
side slipping.
Travelling on uneven ground
In case of travelling on uneven ground, reduce
travel speed and operate the machine so as not
to lean to one side more than 10 °.
In case of travelling on flat ground, retract the
attachment and raise it 40 - 50 cm from the
ground.
