Operating In Water - SANY SY16C Operation And Maintenance Manual

SY16C Excavator OMM

Operating in Water

NOTICE!
Operate the machine slowly when traveling through water. Check the depth of the water with
the bucket. Do not operate the machine in a marine environment. Salt in seawater can damage
the tracks.
When driving the machine out of water on a grade steeper than 15°, the rear of the upper
structure may be submerged in water. The radiator fan may sustain water damage that can
damage the machine or cause the equipment to operate improperly.
• Do not drive the machine into water where the depth is
above the center of the final drive sprocket (1).
• Grease parts that have been submerged until the old
grease has been displaced from the bearing (especially
from the bucket pin).
• Make sure the job site surface is hard enough for the
machine.
• Continuously monitor the condition of the machine
when operating in water. Move the machine to a
different location if necessary.
• Make sure that the swing bearing, swing drive gear,
and swivel do not become submerged in water.
NOTE: If the swing bearing, swing drive gear, or
swivel have been submerged in water, they
must be cleaned. Lubricate the swing drive
gear and swing bearing.
