PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
3
PERMISSIBLE WATER DEPTH
3
When working in water or on swampy ground, do not let the
water come above the bottom of the axle housing (1).
After finishing the operation, wash and check the lubricating
points.
IF WHEEL BRAKE DOES NOT WORK
3
If the machine is not stopped by depressing the brake pedal, use the parking brake to stop the machine.
NOTICE
If the parking brake has been used as an emergency brake, contact your Komatsu distributor to have the
parking brake checked for any abnormality.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN DRIVING UP OR DOWN SLOPES
3
LOWER CENTER OF GRAVITY WHEN TURNING
When turning on slopes, lower the work equipment to lower the center of gravity before turning. It is dangerous to
turn the machine suddenly on slopes.
BRAKING ON DOWNHILL SLOPE
If the foot brake is used too frequently on downhill slopes, there is danger that the brake will overheat and be dam-
aged. To prevent this, use the shift down switch to reduce the gear speed and make full use of the braking force of
the engine when traveling downhill.
Normally, the gear speed when traveling down any hill should be set to the same gear speed used when traveling
up that hill.
When using the brake, depress the right brake pedal.
If the gear speed is not correct, the torque converter oil may overheat. If this happens, shift the transmission down
to one speed lower to reduce the oil temperature.
If the indicator does not enter the green range even when traveling in 1st, stop the machine, set the forward-
reverse selector switch to N, and run at the engine at a mid-range speed until the gauge enters the green range.
IF ENGINE STOPS
If the engine stops on a slope, apply the parking brake immediately, and lower the work equipment to the ground
and stop the machine. Then put the directional selector switch in N (neutral) position, and start the engine again.
