Retracting Or Extending The Side Frame - Hitachi Zaxis 850LC-3 Operator's Manual

RETRACTING OR EXTENDING THE SIDE FRAME

WARNING:
• Thoroughly remove dirt or pebbles stuck to con-
tact areas of the track frame and side frame. Other-
wise, mounting bolts may be loosened.
• Always extend the side frames when operating the
excavator at job sites. Retraction of the side frames
is designed only for easy transportation of the ex-
cavator by trailer. Operate the excavator with the
side frames retracted only when loading or unload-
ing the excavator onto and/or from a trailer. When
the side frames are retracted overside, balance of
the excavator will be reduced, potentially causing
damage to the track frame, side frames, and bolts.
