REMARK
If there is danger of the engine overrunning, the central warning
lamp lights up and the buzzer sounds intermittently. At the same
time, the engine speed flashes on the meter display. Limit the
engine speed and machine travel speed when operating.
If the engine speed goes up more, to prevent the engine from
overrunning, if the torque converter is locked up, the lock-up is
cancelled and the speed range automatically shifts up one
speed. At the same time, “OVERRUN PROTECT“ is displayed
on the character display. When the engine speed goes down,
the transmission automatically returns to the normal speed
range control.
If engine stops
If the engine stops on a slope, apply the parking brake immedi-
ately, and lower the work equipment to the ground and stop the
machine. Then put the directional lever in neutral position, and
start the engine again.
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.
z
Follow the regulations related to this machine, and drive
carefully.
z
Before driving the machine, carry out the checks before
starting.
z
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.
z
The guideline for appropriate tire inflation pressure and
appropriate travel speed when traveling on a paved surface
with the standard tires is as follows.
Tire inflation pressure:
Front wheels: 0.44MPa {4.5kgf/cm², 63.9PSI}
Rear wheels: 0.39MPa {4.0kgf/cm², 56.8PSI}
Travel speed: 13km/h (8.1 MPH)
z
Check the tire pressure before starting, when the tire is cool.
z
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.
z
After travelling for one hour, stop for 30 minutes. Check the
tires and other parts for damage; also check the oil and cool-
ant levels.
