Tramming Safety
You move the machine to and from the work site with
the use of a travel pendant. When tramming (moving
the machine with the pendant), observe the following
safety precautions:
•
Operate the travel pendant alongside the machine
outside of the danger zone
•
Keep all bystanders away while tramming the
machine.
•
Do not carry passengers on the machine.
•
Watch for the turning-radius sweep of the drill
frame, as the center of the turning radius is the
end of the track.

Driving Danger Zone
•
Move slowly when using the pendant for tramming.
•
Use care when loading or unloading the machine
onto a trailer.
•
Watch for traffic when crossing roadways.
•
Check for overhead clearances (i.e., doorways,
branches, electrical wires) before tramming under
any objects and do not contact them.
•
When tramming on a slope, you should be uphill
from the machine.
Use the following illustration to ensure that bystanders
do not enter the danger zone while you are tramming
the machine.
