NOTICE!
• Do not operate the machine in a marine
environment.
• When driving the machine out of water on a
grade steeper than 15°, the rear of the upper
structure may be submerged in water. The
radiator fan may sustain water damage that can
result in damage to the machine or cause the
equipment to operate improperly.
• Do not drive the machine into water where the water
depth is above the center of the final sprocket (1).
• Grease the parts that have been submerged until the
old grease has been displaced from the bearing
(especially from the bucket pin).
• Make sure that the job site surface is hard enough for
the machine.
