OPERATION MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS PROHIBITED OPERATIONS 0. If it is necessary to operate the work equipment control lever when the machine is traveling, stop the travel and operate the control lever. Operations Using Swing Force 0. Do not use the swing force to compact soil or break objects. This is not only dangerous, but will also markedly reduce the life of the machine. Operations Using Travel Force 0. Do not dig the bucket into the ground and use the travel force to carry out excavation. This will damage the machine or work equipment. Operations Using Hydraulic Cylinder Stroke Ends 0.
If the cylinder is used when the cylinder rod has been operated to the end of its stroke during operations, external force will cause impact to the work equipment, and this will damage the hydraulic cylinders. Avoid carrying out operations with the hydraulic cylinder fully retracted or fully extended. 3-61 WARNING
