Precautions when driving machine
When the machine travels at high speed for a long distance, the
tires become extremely hot. This causes early wear of the tires,
so it should be avoided as much as possible. If the machine
must be driven for a long distance, take the following precau-
tions.
!
Follow the regulations related to this machine, and drive
carefully.
!
Before driving the machine, carry out the checks before
starting.
!
The most suitable tire pressure, travel speed, or tire type dif-
fer according to the condition of the travel surface. Contact
your KOMATSU distributor or tire dealer for information.
!
When traveling on a paved road surface using normal tires
(26.5-R25), the guideline for the appropriate tire inflation
pressure and travel speed is as follows.
Tire inflation pressure: 0.30 MPa
Travel speed: 14 km/h
!
Check the tire pressure before starting, when the tire is cool.
!
For longer drives, breaks have to be taken at regular inter-
vals, otherwise the tires will be damaged. Ask your tire
dealer for drive and break times for the tire type on your
machine.
!
During each break, inspect the tires and other parts for dam-
ages and check the oil and cooling medium levels.
!
Always travel with the bucket empty.
!
Never put “calcium chloride“ or “dry ballast“ in the tires when
traveling.
