the machine may slip.
2-8
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
TRANSPORTATION
● Be sure the ramp surface is clean and free of grease, oil, ice and loose materials. Remove dirt from machine-
tracks. On a rainy day, in particular, take extremely careful since the ramp surface is slippery.
● Run the engine at low soeed, set to 1st, and operate the machine slowly.
● When on the ramps, do not operate any lever except for the travel lever.
● Never correct your steering on the ramps. If necessary, drive off the ramps, correct the direction, then enter
the ramps again.
● The center of gravity of the machine will chenge suddenly at the joint between the ramps and the track or
trailer, and there is danger of the machine losing its balance. Travel slowly over this point.
● When loading or unloading to an embankment or platform, make sure that it has suitable width, strength, and
grade.
● For machines equipped with a cab, always lock the door after loading the machine. If this is not done, the door
may suddenly open during transportation.
Refer to "TRANSPORTATION (PAGE 3-5)".
SHIPPING
When shipping the machine on a trailer, do as follows.
● Investigate all state and local laws governing the weight, width, and length of a load. If necessary, disassemble
the work equipment. The width, height and weight of the load differ according to the work equipment, so take
this into account when determining the shipping route.
● When passing over bridges or structures on private land, check first that the structure is strong enough to sup-
port the weight of the machine. When traveling on public roads, check first with the relevant authorities and fol-
low their instructions.
● For details of the shipping procedure, see "TRANSPORTATION (PAGE 3-5)" in the OPERATION section.
2-9
PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENENCE SAFETY
WARNING TAG
● Always attach the "DO NOT OPERATE" warning tag to the
work equipment control lever in the operator's cab to alert
others that you are performing service or maintenance on
the machine. Attach additional warning tags around the
machine if necessary.
Warning tag Part No. 09963-03001
Keep this warning tag in the tool box while it is not used. If
there is not the tool box, keep the tag in the operation man-

TRANSPORTATION
When transporting the machine, observe all related laws and regulations, and be careful to assure safety.
WARNING
Observe the following procedures when folding / unfolding the blades.
1. To prevent serious injury or property damage, stop the engine, and set the safety lock lever of the
blade control lever to the lock position before folding / unfolding the blades.
2. Fold and unfold the blades on a level place. If the machine is not level and the offset pin is removed,
the folding blade may rotate then you may get caught between the blade and the track shoe.
3. Place 60mm height blocks under left and right end of the center blade to fix the blade in this position
providing a stable condition suitable for folding / unfolding operations.
CAUTION
Do not angle with the blade folded. The blade will interfere with the track shoe.
2. Raise the blade so that the blade position is parallel to the machine and level to the ground.
3. Place 60mm height blocks under left and right end of the
center blade, then lower the blade slowly on the blocks to
fix it.
5. Remove the Lock-plate (2) from the left and right folding
blades (3).
With the pin at the center blade (4) as the center, rotate
the Lock-plate (2) 100 degrees toward the inner side of
the machine.

● Always carry out periodic maintenance at the specified intervals according to the service meter reading. If it is
easier to carry out administration according to the calendar (daily, weekly, monthly), the calendar may be used
to determine the service intervals.
● When carrying out heavy-duty operations, or working in extremely dusty places or humid places, carry out
maintenance at a shorter interval than the interval recommended for periodic maintenance.
