After the engine starts, carry out the warming-up operation as follows. 1. Push the throttle lever forward, set the engine to low speed, and run for approx.
3.4 MOVING MACHINE OFF • Check that there is no one in the area around the machine before starting. Check particularly carefully around the dump body at the rear of the machine. • When starting the machine off, check that the surrounding area is safe, and sound the horn to inform people that you are starting.
3.5 SHIFTING SPEED RANGE, CHANGING BETWEEN FORWARD AND REVERSE • When traveling, select a travel speed to match the travel surface and ground condition. • When traveling on a slope, be sure to set the travel speed range to the low speed range. Also, when traveling on a slope, travel straight forward.
Page 71
[3] SWITCHING BETWEEN HIGH AND LOW SPEED RANGES The travel speed range is changed by operating the Hi-Lo speed range selector switch. • When the switch is pressed, the mechanism inside the travel motor is switched and the machine changes to the high speed range. At the same time, the high-speed lamp on the instrument panel lights up to show that the machine is traveling in the high speed range.
3.6 STEERING MACHINE • Do not turn the machine sharply at high speed; do not carry spin turns unless necessary. This will damage the crawler and hydraulic equipment, and there is also danger that the machine may hit other objects. •...
Page 73
[Turning while decreasing speed] • To make a gradual turn when traveling forward, pull the travel lever back a small amount in the direction of STOP on the same side as the direction of the turn. To make a rapid turn when traveling forward, pull the travel lever back a large amount on the same side as the direction of the turn.
3.7 STOPPING MACHINE • Avoid stopping suddenly. Always leave room to spare when stopping. • Never use the parking brake to stop the machine. Using the parking brake will cause the machine to stop suddenly and will also damage the machine. •...

Therefore, it deteriorates as time passes. Always use the grade of oil and the oil which matches the ambient temperature listed in this operation manual. Even if the oil is not dirty, always change it at the specified interval.
Page 97
[5] FILTERS • Filters are used to prevent trouble caused when impurities in the oil, fuel, or air enter important equipment. When the replacement interval listed in this manual is reached, always replace or clean the filters. However, when using this machine under heavy-duty conditions, replace the filters before the specified replacement interval has passed.
• When replacing parts, always use the genuine parts specified in the parts list. [3] PRECAUTIONS WHEN ADDING OR CHANGING OIL OR GREASE • When adding or changing fuel, oil, or grease, always use the type specified by Morooka. Be sure to use the viscosity specified for the ambient temperature.
Page 99
[7] CHECKING DRAINED OIL, FILTER • When the oil has been changed or the filter replaced, always check the drained oil and removed filter to check for metal particles or other foreign materials. [8] SETTING UP WARNING SIGNS • When the oil or coolant has been drained, put warning signs (Part No.: 1-41010-1210) in the operator's compartment to prevent anyone from starting the engine by mistake.
3. USE OF FUEL AND LUBRICANTS ACCORDING TO AMBIENT TEMPERATURE 3.1 FUEL, COOLANT, AND LUBRICANT TABLE NOTICE • The quality of engine oil influences significantly on the engine performance and start ability. Always use the engine oil of CG-4 class or CAT diesel engine oil Cat DEO and of specified viscosity (refer to the table below) according to the ambient temperatures.
Page 101
REMARK • When fuel sulphur content is less than 0.5 %, change oil in the oil pan every periodic maintenance hours described in this manual.
