Komatsu WA800-1 Operation & Maintenance Manual page 136

l
In dangerous places or in places
. .
where the vrsrbrlrty is poor, get
down from the machine and
check that it is safe before con-
tinuing the operation.
l Always operate slowly in crowd-
ed places. On haul roads or in
narrow places, give way to
loaded machines.
l
When traveling, keep the work
equipment close to the ground to
maintain the stability of the ma-
chine. Pay particularly careful at-
tention to the stability of the ma-
chine when traveling with a load.
l If the machine has to travel on
rough ground, be careful to avoid
obstacles as far as possible.
l Always travel at a slow speed,
and do not suddenly change
direction.
l Do not use the bucket as a brake
except in emergencies.
l If the engine stops when the ma-
chine is traveling, it is impossible
to use the steering. This is
dangerous, so apply the brake im-
mediately to stop the machine.
l When traveling on hills with a
loaded bucket, travel forward up
the hill and in reverse down the
hill.
l
The machine should always be
operated at a speed where it can
be correctly controlled. Never do
the following:
* Speeding
* Sudden starting, sudden brak-
ing, sudden turning
* Snaking
* Coasting
RESTRICTIONS CREATED BY
JOBSITE
l Do not approach the edge of the
cliff or road shoulder.
l In dangerous places, always
work in teams of two; one man
to operate the machine, and the
other to give instructions.
l On windy days, always load
downwind.
l When continuing operations
after rain, remember that condi-
tions will have changed from
those before the rain started, so
proceed with caution.
Be careful when working on the
place made of piled soil, after
earthquakes or after blasting.
l Always travel directly up or down
slopes. When traveling down a
slope, use the same gear speed
as when going up the slope.
When traveling down a slope,
never put the transmission in
neutral.
