Precautions For Operation - Komatsu PW118MR-11 Operation & Maintenance Manual

MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS OPERATION
DO NOT PERFORM LIFTING OPERATIONS
Although lifting operation with this machine is prohibited, it is
permitted only when the special lifting hook is installed.
For detail, see "HANDLE BUCKET WITH HOOK (6-8)".
PROHIBITION OF HIGH-SPEED TRAVEL OPERATIONS ON ROUGH GROUND
If the machine travels on rough ground (rock-bed, etc.) at high
speed, large push-up loads are applied to the chassis, thus the
service life of the chassis is shortened.
GROUND WHOLE THE BOTTOM SIDE OF BLADE TO SUPPORT MACHINE
When using the blade as an outrigger, never support the ma-
chine with only one end of the blade.

PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION

PRECAUTIONS FOR TRAVELING
Traveling over boulders, tree stumps, or other obstacles will
cause a big shock to the chassis (and in particular to the under-
carriage), and this will cause damage to the machine. For this
reason, always remove any obstacles or drive the machine
around them, or take other steps to avoid traveling over such
obstacles as far as possible.
If there is no way to avoid traveling over an obstacle, reduce
the travel speed, keep the work equipment close to the ground,
and try to drive the machine so that the center of the wheels
passes over the obstacle.
PRECAUTIONS FOR HIGH SPEED TRAVEL
On uneven roads, such as rocky surfaces or roads with boulder, travel at low speeds to avoid loss of control of
the machine.
