TROUBLES AND ACTIONS
ACTIONS WHEN RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
When starting the engine again after running out of fuel, fill with fuel until the fuel level caution lamp on the ma-
chine monitor goes out, then bleed the air from the fuel system before starting the engine.
Always check the fuel level to prevent running out of fuel.
If the engine has stopped because of running out of fuel, all the air in the fuel circuit must be bled by using the
fuel feed pump.
For the method of bleeding air, see "METHOD FOR BLEEDING AIR (4-38)".
PRECAUTIONS FOR TOWING MACHINE

Always use the correct towing equipment and towing
method. Any mistake in the selection of the wire rope or
drawbar or the method of towing a disabled machine and
being towed may lead to serious personal injury or death.
•
If the engine does not start, block the tracks from
movement, then release the brake. If blocks are not
used, there is a danger that the machine may move
suddenly.
•
Always confirm that the wire rope or drawbar used for
towing has ample strength for the weight of the ma-
chine being towed.
•
Never use the wire rope which has cut strands (A), re-
duced diameter (B), or kinks (C). There is a danger that
the rope may break during the towing operation.
•
Always wear leather gloves when handling the wire
rope.
•
Never tow a machine on a slope.
•
During the towing operation, never stand between the
towing machine and the towed machine.
•
Move the machine slowly.
Do not apply a sudden load to the wire rope.
