Telescopic travel gear
Crushing hazard due to tipping over of machine!
A tipping machine can cause serious injuries or death.
► Only perform work with an extended telescopic travel gear.
► Traveling with a retracted telescopic travel gear is only allowed for
traveling very short distances through passages. Pay attention to the
reduced stability.
► Raise the boom about 20 – 30 cm (8 – 12 in) off the ground and
position it straight ahead at the center of the machine.
If a hydraulic hose bursts on the telescopic hydraulic cylinder, lower
the boom immediately to prevent the machine from tipping over.
► Extend and retract the travel gear only on horizontal, level and firm
ground.
► Telescopic travel gear completely extended.
Crushing hazard when retracting the telescopic travel gear!
Retracting and extending the telescopic travel gear can cause serious
crushing of body parts.
► Ensure that no one is in the danger zone.
► Telescopic travel gear completely extended.
Damage to machine when traveling through passages.
► Pay attention to the width of the stabilizer blade and of the telescopic
travel gear when traveling through passages.
► Adjust the stabilizer blade and the telescopic travel gear to the same
widths when operating the machine.
