Precautions For Operation - Komatsu D475A-5E0 Operation & Maintenance Manual

OPERATION
OPERATION
TURNING WHILE DESCENDING A SLOPE
With machines that can perform counter rotation turns, on steep downhill slopes where the machine may travel
under its own weight, or on downhill slopes where it is being pushed by a towed machine, the machine will not steer
in the opposite direction, so do as follows.
REMARK
Cross steering means the phenomenon that the machine turns in the opposite direction to the actual steering
direction.
TURNING GRADUALLY TO LEFT WHILE TRAVELING FORWARD
If the joystick (steering, directional and gear shift lever) (1) is
pushed forward and moved partially to the left (L), the machine
turns gradually to the left.
REMARK
When making gradual turns to the right, push joystick (1) forward,
and move it partially to the right.
Do the same when traveling in reverse.

PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION

PAY ATTENTION TO GAUGES
If the red range of the power train oil temperature gauge lights up during operation, reduce the load and wait for the
temperature to go down.
PERMISSIBLE WATER DEPTH
When operating in water, always keep top surface of the track
frame above the surface of the water.
Also, be careful that the engine cooling fan will not come in contact
with water. The fan can be damaged.
