OPERATION MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS ESCAPE FROM MUD 3 Always operate carefully to avoid getting affixed in mud. If the machine does get affixed in mud, do as follows to get the machine out. Stuck One Side of Track 3 NOTICE When using the boom or arm to raise the machine, always have the bottom of the bucket in contact with the ground. The angle between the boom and arm should be 90° to 110°. The same applies when using the bucket installed in the reverse direction. When only one side is affixed in mud, use the bucket to raise the track, then lay boards or logs and drive the machine out.
Stuck Both Sides of Tracks 3 When the tracks on both sides are stuck in mud and they slip, making it impossible for the machine to move, lay boards or logs as explained above, and dig the bucket into the ground in front. Then pull in the arm as in normal digging operations and put the travel levers in the FORWARD position to pull the machine out. 3-99
