Retracting Or Extending The Side Frame - Hitachi ZAXIS 450LC-3 Operator's Manual

RETRACTING OR EXTENDING THE SIDE FRAME

d
WARNING:
• Thoroughly remove dirt or pebbles stuck to
contact areas of the track frame and side frame.
Otherwise, 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 excavator by trailer. Operate the excavator
with the side frames retracted only when loading
or unloading 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.
