Travel Precautions Never turn the starting switch to the "O" (OFF) position when traveling. It is dangerous if the engine stops while the machine is traveling. It will be impossible to operate the steering. TRAVEL POSTURE Attachment control levers should not be operated while traveling. Do not change selected travel mode (FAST/SLOW) while traveling. Fold in work equipment so the outer end of the boom is as close to the machine as possible, and is 40 - 50 cm (16 - 20 in) aboveground. 40 ~ 50 cm (16 ~ 20 in.) INCORRECT Never travel over obstacles or slopes that will cause the machine to tilt severely.
Travel around any slope or obstacle that causes the machine to tilt 10 degrees or more to the right or left, or 30 degrees or more from front to rear. Do not operate the steering suddenly. The work equipment may hit the ground and cause the machine to lose its balance, and this may damage the machine or structures in the area. When traveling on rough ground, travel at low speed, and avoid sudden changes in direction. FG000349 Figure 18 Always keep to the permissible water depth. Permissible water depth is to the centerline of the upper track rollers. When traveling over bridges or structures on private land, check first that bridge or structure can withstand the weight of the machine.
When traveling on public roads, check with the local authorities and follow their instructions. OP001759 Safety 1-28
