MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS
OPERATION
PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING ON SLOPE
Pay attention to fuel level
If the fuel level in the fuel tank becomes low when working on slopes, the engine may suck in air because of the
angle of the machine or the swaying of the machine. This makes the engine stop, so be careful not to let the fuel
level in the fuel tank become too low.
When working on slopes with an angle of more than 20 °, if the
fuel level on the fuel gauge enters the red range, add fuel im-
mediately.
(A): Red range
(B): Green range
Pay attention to oil level
When operating machine on a slope of 20 ° or more, fill all components with oil to H level.
Pay attention to DEF level
Before working on a slope or traveling on a rough ground, check DEF tank and add sufficient amount of DEF as
necessary. If the remaining DEF level becomes low, sudden drop of its level or abnormality in urea SCR system
may be detected. If DEF level caution lamp or DEF system caution lamp lights up in red, move the machine to a
level place immediately and add DEF.
Pay attention to stopping of engine on slopes
If the engine stops while working or traveling on a slope, immediately depress the decelerator/brake pedal to
stop the machine completely.
DO NOT OPEN DOOR WHILE OPERATING MACHINE
Always keep the door closed when traveling or performing operations.
If the door is open, it may be damaged by obstacles or strong vibration.
DO NOT MODIFY CAB GLASS IN ANY WAY THAT WILL OBSTRUCT THE
VIEW
Never install anything which obstructs the view and affects the safety to the glass.
Keep the glass clean and secure the safety for the work.
PRECAUTIONS FOR FLOATING OPERATION
If the blade is operated to FLOAT when the engine is running at low speed or when it is idling, hunting may
occur.
Raise the engine speed when performing FLOAT operation.
