Operation 5
Telescopic travel gear (option)
Crushing hazard due to tipping over of machine.
Can cause serious injury or death.
► Only perform work with an extended telescopic travel gear.
► Performing machine travel with a retracted telescopic travel gear is
only allowed for machine travel over very short distances through
passages. Pay attention to the reduced stability.
► Retract or extend the telescopic travel gear completely.
► Raise the boom about 20 – 30 cm (8 – 12 in) off the ground and
position it straight ahead at the center of the machine. In an
emergency, lower the boom immediately to increase stability.
This prevents the machine from tipping over in case of a hose rupture
on the telescopic cylinder. A hose rupture might cause the travel gear
to retract and reduce stability.
Danger of crushing when retracting the telescopic travel gear!
Can cause serious injury or death.
► Do not allow anyone to stay in the danger zone.
In order to avoid damage to the machine when performing machine travel
through door frames, etc.:
► Pay attention to the width of the stabilizer blade and of the telescopic
travel gear when performing machine travel through passages.
► Adjust the stabilizer blade and the telescopic travel gear to the same
widths when operating the machine.
