Drive the Machine Carefully
IMPORTANT: During freezing weather, park machine on
a hard surface to prevent tracks from freezing to the
ground. Clean debris from tracks and track frame.
If tracks are frozen to the ground, raise tracks using
boom, move machine carefully to prevent damage to
drive train and tracks.
Select a route that is as flat as possible. Steer machine
as straight as possible making small, gradual changes in
direction.
When driving over rough terrain, reduce the engine speed to
lessen possibility of undercarriage damage.
