WARNING
q
Operating the steering wheel suddenly at high speed or operating the steering wheel on steep slopes
is dangerous. Do not operate the steering wheel in such situations.
q
If the engine stops when the machine is traveling, the steering becomes heavy, so never stop the
engine while traveling.
It is particularly dangerous if the engine stops when the machine is traveling on slopes, so never let
the engine stop when traveling on slopes.
If the engine stops, stop the machine immediately at a safe place.
When traveling, use steering wheel (1) to turn the machine.
With this machine, the front frame is joined to the rear frame at
the center of the machine by the center pin. The front and rear
frames bend at this point, and the rear wheels follow in the
same track as the front wheels when turning.
Turn the steering wheel lightly to follow the machine as it turns.
NOTICE
When the steering wheel is turned fully, if it reaches the
end of its stroke, do not try to turn it further.
Check that there is a play of 50 to 100 mm (2.0 to 3.9 in) in
the steering wheel. Check also that the steering works
properly. If any abnormality is found, please contact your
Komatsu distributor for inspection.
