Operation and Maintenance Manual 50
OPERATING PROCEDURE (CONT’D)
Operating In Water
Mud and water should be removed from the machine
before parking. In freezing temperatures, park the
machine on planks or concrete to prevent the track or
undercarriage from freezing to the ground and preventing
machine movement.
Figure OI-115
Do not operate or immerse the excavator in water higher
than the bottom of the swing circle [Figure OI-115].
Grease the excavator when it has been operated or
immersed in water for a period of time. Greasing forces
the water out of the lubrication areas.
Water must be removed from the cylinder rods. If water
freezes to the cylinder rod, the cylinder seals can be
damaged when the rod is retracted.
