OPERATION
MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS
PROHIBITION OF OPERATIONS USING TRAVEL FORCE
Do not use the travel force to perform excavation by digging
the bucket into the ground. This damages the machine or work
equipment.
PROHIBITION OF OPERATIONS USING HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS TO STROKE
END
If the work equipment is used with the cylinder rod operated to its stroke end (fully extended or fully retracted),
and given impact by some external force, the hydraulic cylinders may be damaged, causing personal injury.
Do not perform operations with the hydraulic cylinder at stroke
end.
PROHIBITION OF OPERATIONS USING BUCKET DROPPING FORCE
Do not use the dropping force of the machine for digging, nor
use the dropping force of the bucket as a mattock, breaker, or
pile driver.
This will drastically reduce the life of the machine.
PROHIBITION OF OPERATIONS USING BUCKET AS LEVER
Do not put the bucket back to a rock and use it as a lever to
dig.
This can apply an excessive force to the chassis and work
equipment, and the machine may break.
As shown in the figure, dig by using only the force of the arm or
bucket.
If an excessive force is applied, the safety valve of the hydraul-
ic system controls it into a proper range to prevent breakage of
the machine.
