BLOCK-OFF 5566765 - Caterpillar

Normal steering is when the final drive sprockets are under the rear of the machine. Idlers are under the front of the cab. Reverse steering is when the cab is over the sprockets. Both the directional and steering functions will be reversed. Always travel with sprockets under the rear of the machine.The farther the levers are pushed forward or pulled backward, the faster the travel speed.The farther the pedal is pushed at the toe or heel side, the faster the travel speed. The travel alarm (if equipped) is located behind the engine. This alarm will sound when the travel lever or pedal is activated. Reverse Direction Travel Levers (1) - Pull back on both levers at the same time and distance for reverse travel. Reverse Direction Travel Pedals - Push both pedals at the heel, at the same time.The machine will always travel toward the sprockets. Brakes On (2) - Release both of the directional travel control levers or pedals to apply the brakes. Forward Direction Travel Levers (3) - Push forward on both levers at the same time and distance for forward travel. Forward Direction Travel Pedals - Push both pedals on the toe, at the same time.The machine will always travel toward the idlers. The farther the levers or pedals are moved forward or backward, the faster the turning speed. Use the pedals as well as the levers to make turns. Spot Left Turn (4) - Pull backward on the left lever and push forward on the right lever at the same time. This allows a quick left turn (counter track rotation). Pivot Left Turn - Push forward on the right lever, allowing the machine to turn to the left pivoting on the left track. Spot Right Turn (5) - Pull backward on the right lever and push forward on the left lever at the same time, allowing a quick right turn (counter track rotation). Pivot Right Turn - Push forward on the left lever, allowing the machine to turn to the right, pivoting on the right track.Governor Control Lever
Governor Control Lever - Controls the engine speed (rpm). Increase (1) - Move lever back to increase the engine speed. Decrease (2) - Move lever forward to decrease the engine speed.Travel Speed Control Switch
Speed Switch - Selects either high or low travel speed of the machine. Turning the switch clockwise (to hare sign position) selects a speed of 5.0 km/h (3.1 mph) and turning counterclockwise (to tortoise sign position), 3.0 km/h (1.9 mph)Select the high speed when driving from one site to another. - on a hard, even surface. Always select the low speed when driving on rough or soft surfaces, or when driving while hoisting a load.Continuous driving at high speed should be limited to two hours. If it is necessary to continue high speed driving beyond two consecutive hours, stop the machine for 10 minutes to cool the travel drives before resuming driving.
Do not operate travel speed control switch while traveling.Machine stability may be adversely
