MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS OPERATION PROHIBITED OPERATIONS 3 q If it is necessary to operate the work equipment control lever when the machine is traveling, stop the machine, then operate the control lever. q If any lever is operated when the auto-deceleration is being actuated, the engine speed will suddenly increase, so be careful when operating. Operations Using Swing Force 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 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.
Prohibition of Operations Using Hydraulic Cylinders to Stroke Ends If the work equipment is used with the cylinder rod operated to its stroke end, and given impact by some external force, the hydraulic cylinders will be damaged, causing personal injury. Avoid operations with the hydraulic cylinder fully retracted or fully extended. 3-94 WARNING
