. OPERATION OPERATION STEERING THE MACHINE WARNING Do not operate the steering when traveling at high speed or on steep slopes. There is danger that the machine may tip over and cause serious damage or serious personal injury to people in the area around the machine. CAUTION Do not continue to apply force after the steering wheel has been turned fully to the right or left. The oil temperature inside the circuit will rise and cause overheating, and this may damage the equipment. 3 - 117 To turn the machine when trav eling, turn steering wheel (1). The m achine will turn.
When traveling around a curve , release the accelerator pedal before entering the curve, sh ift down to a lower speed range, then depress the accel erator pedal to travel around the curv e. REMARK Because of the characteris tics of hydraulic systems, the angle of the steering wheel may change while the machine is traveling (the po sition of the spokes on the steering wheel may vary slightly ), but this is not a failure. If force is applied to the stee ring wheel when the tires have been turned fully to the left or right, the steering wheel will turn a little at a time, bu t this is not a failure.
LOADING OPERATIONS When using a large wheel load er to load large rocks, if the rocks are loaded directly into the dump body, parts of the dump body may be deformed. To prevent this, when loading large r ocks, first load sand or soil to act as a cushion, then load the rocks on top of t his to reduce the impact on the dum p body. In addition, when loading rock s that exceed the following condition s, install the optional d ump body reinforcement plate. 5 m (1 ft 8 in) an 4.5 (Mohs scale) e than 300 kg (662 lb) ots Rocks with one side over 0.
