3. Set the safety lock lever to the locked
position and check that the operating and
travel levers are locked.
Changing the Crawler Width
(TB016)
Always operate the machine with the
crawler width at the maximum to increase
machine stability. The smaller the crawler
width, the greater the possibility the
machine can tip over. If it is absolutely
necessary to operate the machine with a
narrow crawler width, do so with great care.
With this excavator the crawler width can be
changed. Normally use with extended
crawlers for greater stability.
Change
Perform these operations on a flat, solid
surface with no obstacles in the way.
1. Lift the machine body using the hoe
attachment and dozer blade.
