SAFETY 1 Traveling down a slope in the fast mode requires a longer time to stop the machine. When traveling down a slope, place engine control lever position. Use a signal person when moving, swinging or operating the machine in congested areas. Coordinate hand signals before starting the machine. Before moving machine, determine which way to move travel pedals/levers for the direction you want to go. When the travel motors are in the rear, pushing down on the front of the travel pedals or pushing the levers forward moves the machine forward, towards the idlers. Select a travel route that is as flat as possible.
Steer the machine as straight as possible, making small gradual changes in direction. Before traveling on them, check the strengths of bridges and road shoulders, and reinforce if necessary. Do not make contact with electric wires or bridges. When crossing a river, measure the depth of the river using the bucket, and cross slowly. Do not cross the river when the depth of the river is deeper than the upper edge of the upper roller. When traveling on rough terrain, reduce engine speed. Select slow travel speed. Slower speed will reduce possible damage to the machine. Avoid operations that may damage the track and undercarriage components.
During freezing weather, always clean snow and ice from track shoes before driving the machine on snowy and/or frozen roads, or loading and unloading the machine for transportation, to prevent the machine from slipping. (1) in the TURTLE M1NC-00-007 Travel Motor M104-05-008 SA-673 M586-05-002 S-12
