3.3.10 PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
q
TRAVELLING
Travelling on big stones, logs or other obstacles subjects the
frame and in particular the tracks to considerable strain, which
damages the machine. For this reason, it is always advisable to
remove any obstacles or to avoid them, if possible.
If an obstacle cannot be avoided, reduce the travel speed, keep
the work equipment as close to the ground as possible and try
to move the machine keeping the obstacle equidistant from the
tracks.
When the track gauge has been narrowed completely, the ma-
chine runs the risk of overturning to the right or to the left if one
of the rubber tracks passes over obstacles such as big stones
or logs, or gets into a ditch or a hole. In these cases, lower the
speed and take care to keep the machine balanced during trav-
el.
q
FOLDING THE WORK EQUIPMENT
When folding the work equipment to the travel or transport posi-
tion, be careful to prevent the bucket from hitting the blade.
q
AVOID HITTING THE BLADE
Take care to prevent the blade from hitting rocks or stones, in
order to avoid any damage to the blade itself or the cylinders.
q
POSITION OF THE BLADE DURING DIGGING OPERATIONS
WITH THE EXCAVATOR
When carrying out deep digging operations with the blade at the
front, be careful to prevent the boom cylinder from hitting the
blade. If possible, always position the blade at the rear of the
machine.
