•
Select a travel route that is as flat as possible. Steer
the machine as straight as possible, making small
gradual changes repeatedly in direction.
•
Check the strengths of bridges and road shoulders
before traveling on them, and reinforce if necessary.
•
When the machine is equipped with steel shoes, cover
the road surface with wood plates in order not to
damage the road surface. Be careful of steering when
operating on asphalt roads in summer.
•
When crossing train tracks, lay wood plates over the
tracks not to allow the machine to ride on only the
rails.
•
Check that the machine can pass under a bridge and
electric lines before driving the machine.
•
When crossing a river, drive the machine slowly while
measuring the depth of the river using the bucket. Do
not cross the river when the depth of the river is
deeper than the upper track shoe surface.
•
Reduce the engine speed when traveling on rough
terrains. Select a slow travel speed. Slower speed will
reduce possible damage to the machine.
•
Drive the machine so that the travel motors do not
come in contact with loose rocks. If the machine
crosses over an obstruction, abnormally large loads
may be loaded on the machine. Avoid contact with an
obstruction while traveling the machine.
•
During freezing weather, always clean snow and ice
from track shoes before driving the machine on snowy
and/or frozen roads, or loading and unloading the
machine for transportation, to prevent the machine
from slipping.
