Operating Machine with Maximum Width
● Always operate the machine with
extended track width of 950mm, in
order to improve the machine stability
to the maximum extent. Operating the
machine with narrow track width
(800mm) will probably result in rollover
of machine due to poor stability.
● If it's necessary to operate the machine
with narrow track width (800mm),
retract the bucket working device and
lower the boom to reduce the gravity
center and face the machine towards
front before traveling.
This machine can change the track width.
Normally, to keep stable of machine, it's better
to operate with extended track width.
Change of Track Width
Operate in a level and solid ground without
obstacles.
Warning
1. Lift the machine body by bucket working
device and bulldozing blade.
Important: Ensure to lift the machine body
before the change of track width. Attempting
the operation with tracks on ground will
probably damage the side traveling frame or
span cylinder.
2. Unlock the safety lever.
