WARNING
q
Never operate the steering suddenly when traveling at high speed; never operate the steering on steep
slopes. These operations are extremely dangerous.
q
If the engine stops when the machine is traveling, the emergency steering is actuated, but this device
is only for use in emergencies, so never stop the engine.
It is particularly dangerous if the engine stops on hills, so never under any circumstances stop the
engine when traveling on slopes.
If the engine stops, move the machine immediately to a safe place and stop it there.
q
After articulating the machine to the desired angle, hold the AJSS lever in position. The machine will
maintain the angle. While the angle of turning is being maintained, do not operate the AJSS lever in the
opposite direction. The machine will shake and create a dangerous condition. In addition, if the AJSS
lever is operated in the opposite direction when the machine is turning, there will tend to be a shock,
and this will create a dangerous situation.
Whentraveling, angle AJSS lever (1) in the direction of turning,
and the machine will turn.
If it is angled to the right (A), the machine will turn to the right; if
it is angled to the left (B), the machine will turn to the left. The
more the lever is angled, the greater the angle of articulation
will become.
With this machine, the front and rear frames articulate around
the connecting pin (center pin) connecting the front and rear
frames.
The rear wheels follow the same path as the front wheels when
the machine turns.
When operating the AJSS lever, angle the AJSS lever lightly to
match the turning angle of the machine.
NOTICE
When making a full turn, operate the AJSS lever to the end of its travel. Do not try to operate it any further.
In addition, check that the actuation of the steering is normal. If any abnormality is found, please ask your
Komatsu distributor to carry out inspection.
