Instruction Manual

Caterpillar: Non-Confidential
during operation (noise, vibration, smell,
incorrect gauges, air leakage, oil leakage, etc.),
move the machine immediately to safe place
and look for the cause.
 Set the work tools to travel position. (Lift
30-40cm from level ground)
 When traveling, do not operate the work
tool control levers. If the work tool control
levers have to be operated, stop the machine
first and then operate the levers.
 Do not operate the steering wheel
suddenly. The work tools may hit the ground
surface causing the machine to lose its
balance, or may damage the machine or other
structures in the area.
 When traveling on rough ground, travel at
low speed and avoid sudden changes in
direction.
 Avoid traveling over obstacles as often as
possible. If the machine has to travel over an
obstacle, keep the work tools as close to the
ground as possible and travel at low speed.
 When traveling or carrying out operations,
always keep your distance from other
machines or structures to avoid coming into
contact with them.
 Never drive in water that is in excess of the
permissible water depth. Do not let the water
come above the bottom of the axle housing.
 When passing over bridges or structures
on private land, check first that the structure is
strong enough to support the mass of the
machine. When traveling on public roads,
check first with the relevant authorities and
follow their instructions.
 Always obey the traffic regulations when
traveling on public roads. This machine travels
at lower speed than normal automobiles, so
keep to the side of the road and be careful to
leave the center of the road free for other
vehicles.
 If you drive the machine at high speed
continuously for a long time, the tires will
overheat and the internal pressure will become
abnormally high. This may result in the tires
bursting. If a tire bursts, it produces an
extremely large destructive force, and this may
cause a serious injury or accident.
 If you are going to travel continuously,
please consult your Caterpillar (Qingzhou) Ltd.
agent.
Check When Changing Direction
To prevent serious injury or death, even that
machine is equipped with a back up alarm and
mirrors always do the following before moving
the machine or the work tools:
 Sound the horn to warn people in the area.
 Check that there is no one near the
machine. Be particularly careful to check
behind the machine. This area cannot be seen
clearly from the operator’s seat.
 When operating in the areas that may be
hazardous or have poor visibility, designate a
person to direct worksite traffic.
 Ensure that no person can come within the
direction of turning or direction of travel.
 When traveling at a high speed, never
change direction.
Restricted Operation
 To prevent the machine from turning over
or the work tools from being damaged due to
overload, always keep within the maximum
load specified for the machine.
 Caterpillar (Qingzhou) Ltd. is not
responsible for of any injuries, accidents or
machine damage resulting from overload.
Traveling On Slopes
 Be careful traveling on slopes can result in
the machine tipping over or slipping to the
side.
 When traveling on slopes, keep the bucket
approximately 20-30cm (8-12in) above the
ground. In case of emergency, quickly lower
the bucket to the ground to help the machine to
stop.
