 Be sure to fully pull up the stairway before traveling.
 Before descending a slope, turn the travel mode switch
to the SLOW position on level ground. Do not operate
the travel mode switch while descending a slope. The
machine may slip, possibly causing safety accident.
 When descending a steep slope, avoid quick start or stop
traveling in the FAST mode. Failure to do so may result in
damage to the travel motors.
 Use a signal person when moving, swinging or operating
the machine in congested areas. Coordinate hand signals
before starting the machine.
 Before moving machine, determine which way to move
travel pedals/levers for the direction you want to go.
When the travel motors are in the rear, pushing down
on the front of the travel pedals or pushing the levers
forward moves the machine forward, towards the idlers.
 Select a travel route that is as flat as possible. Steer the
machine as straight as possible, making small gradual
changes in direction.
 When traveling on a level surface, position the front
with boom (1) fully raised, and arm (2) fully retracted, as
illustrated, in order to apply the load as evenly as possible
to all of the lower rollers.
 Before traveling on them, check the strengths of bridges
and road shoulders, and reinforce if necessary.
 Use wood plates in order not to damage the road surface.
Be careful of steering when operating on asphalt roads in
summer.
 When crossing train tracks, use wood plates in order not
to damage them.
 Do not make contact with electric wires or bridges.
 When crossing a river, measure the depth of the river
using the bucket, and cross slowly. Do not cross the river
when the depth of the river is deeper than the upper
edge of the upper roller.
 When traveling on rough terrain, reduce engine speed.
Select slow travel speed. Slower speed will reduce
possible damage to the machine.
 Avoid operations that may damage the track and
undercarriage components.
 During freezing weather, always clean snow and ice from
track shoes before loading and unloading the machine, to
prevent the machine from slipping.
