Precautions when driving
The tyres will become very hot if the machine is driven at high
speeds for an extended period of time with improper tyre pres-
sure. This is to be avoided, as it causes premature tyre wear.
Observe the following points when it is necessary to drive the
machine over a long distance:
Perform all checks before starting. For details
see 3.3 “Operation” (3-46).
Fasten any manual tools before starting to drive.
The required tyre pressure, the ground speed, and the type
of tyre vary depending on the road conditions. Contact your
Komatsu distributor or your tyre distributor for related infor-
mation.
See table “Tyres and tyre pressure” in chapter “Tyre pres-
sure” (3-96) for the proper tyre pressure.
Check the tyre pressure before starting to drive, when the
tyres are cold.
Lower the work equipment to the carrying position and tilt it
back fully.
Always drive with the bucket or forklift attachment empty.
Observe applicable traffic rules and drive carefully. Check
that the work lights and the warning beacon are off when
driving on roads.
Take a 30-minute break after each hour of driving. Check the
tyres and any parts exposed to high stress by road travel for
proper function and damages.
