When either side of crawler belts/tracks gets
caught in the mud, lay logs or boards on the
mud to form a base. Operate the boom and
arm to form an angle between boom and arm
of about 90 to 110 degrees and push on the
ground with the bottom of the bucket to lift the
machine body up to climb on the logs or
boards.
When both sides of crawler belts / tracks get
caught in mud and the machine does not
move due to skidding, provide logs and
boards, as described in the above section.
Using the bucket, dig into an area of the hard
ground. Then move the bucket control to pull
the machine toward the hard ground.
If this is not possible, get expert help to free
the stuck machine.
If the machine will not travel due to being stuck
in mud, sand, gravel or on soft ground, lift each
crawler belt / tracks off the ground by placing
the bucket on the ground and pushing the
boom and arm against the ground. Raise the
crawler belt / track a small distance off the
ground. Scrape the mud, sand, or gravel off the
crawler belts / tracks.
This material may be cleared by rotating the
crawler belts / tracks in forward and reverse
with the crawler belt / track raised.
F. Getting Out of Soft Ground
AVOID INJURY
Attempting to free a machine that is stuck can be hazardous. Avoid operating on soft ground. The
machine operator must be careful to avoid injury to himself and others while attempting to free the
machine.
If possible, avoid traveling on a soft ground. Avoid getting caught in the mud. In the event that the
machine gets caught in the mud, get out of it as follows.
F.1
One Crawler Belts/Tracks Get Caught in Mud
