Travel - Case WX145 Operator's Manual

SECTION 3
BEFORE STARTING THE TRAVEL
Remove any soil, mud, snow, ice, grease and oil
from your working footwear. You might otherwise
slip from steps and pedals and thus initiate inadvert-
ent movements.
Raise the working attachment only to such an extent
that the machine can pass under overhead power
lines without risk.
Adjust the operator's seat, the steering column and
the rear view mirrors before setting off.
If the machine is equipped with seat belt, fasten it.
Close the front window and the cab door.
Warn persons in the immediate vicinity by sounding
the horn before setting off.
Never travel across slopes.
Take the utmost care on slippery and greasy
ground.
Check for correct tyre pressure.
Make sure the wheels have adequate grip; only then
are the steering and braking properties assured.
Give the engine 2 to 3 minutes time to warm up
before setting off.
Run the engine at full load only if warm.
BASIC POSITION
The specifications "forward" and "reverse" as well as
"right" and "left" apply only when the machine is in
basic position and the machine operator is looking
through the front window towards the working
attachment.
Bear in mind that the required and the actual direc-
tions of travel "forward" and "reverse" as well as the
required and actual directions of cornering "right"
and "left" are identical only when the machine is in
basic position.
If the upper structure is turned more than 90° from
its basic position, the machine moves in the oppo-
site direction from the viewing direction of the opera-
tor.
Therefore check the position of the upper structure
in relation to the undercarriage before setting off.
