Chapter 9
SAFETY & WORK
PROCEDURES
for Compact Crawlers
The following material is designed to
familiarize you with the basic
characteristics of a compact Crawler
Tractor (tracked Vehicle). Its purpose is to
teach you how a crawler tractor responds
in comparison to the more familiar wheeled
tractors. In addition, it outlines safe and
efficient work procedures for a compact
crawler tractor equipped with standard
attachments (loaders, backhoes, blades,
etc.)
Each crawler operator encounters
dramatically different working conditions
than another. For this reason the following
drawings and descriptions are general in
nature. They illustrate general points
rather than details which may apply to only
one operator’s working conditions. You are
encouraged to contact the factory at
anytime for help or advice for any job you
have in mind.
