Driving The Machine; Drive The Machine Carefully - Hitachi EX1900-5 Operator's Manual

DRIVE THE MACHINE CAREFULLY

IMPORTANT: During freezing weather, park machine
on a hard surface to prevent tracks from
freezing to the ground. Clean debris
from tracks and track frame.
If tracks are frozen to the ground, raise
tracks using boom, move machine care-
fully to prevent damage to drive train and
tracks.
If engine stops under load, remove the
load. Start engine immediately. Run the
engine 30 seconds in slow idle speed be-
fore you add load.
Select a route that is as flat as possible. Steer machine as
straight as possible making small, gradual changes in di-
rection.
When driving over rough terrain, reduce engine speed to
lessen the possibility of undercarriage damage.
