SAFETY When traveling on soft ground or in shallow water check the condition of the bedrock, depth of the water and speed of the water flow before traveling in these conditions. Do not drive the machine in water deeper than the center carrier rollers (1). When driving the machine out of water, if the angle of the machine exceeds 15 o , the rear of the upper structure will go under water, and water will be thrown up by the radiator fan. This may cause the fan to break. Be extremely careful when driving the machine out of water. Parking the Machine When parking the machine it is important to follow several basic safety rules.
