2. Carry the bowl just high enough to clear obstacles. 3. Travel at the highest safe speed. 4. Use the retarder and service brakes to control speed on a downgrade.
Never coast on a downgrade. Keep the transmission engaged.
Keep retarder temperature in the normal (GREEN) range.Keep engine speed below 2300 RPM.
5. When approaching a downgrade, slow down to allow the transmission to downshift. Use the transmission hold on the downgrade to prevent upshifting.6. Use the transmission hold to prevent unwanted upshifts. Use it when approaching an upgrade, or in rough underfooting.Dumping and Spreading
1. Dump material at the highest practical travel speed. Move the cushion hitch control to LOCKDOWN if a smooth spread is desired. 2. Lower the bowl to the desired spread height. Open the apron at the start of the dump area.3. When the material has fallen from the back of the apron, move the ejector forward. 4. When the bowl is empty, close the apron. Return the ejector to the rear. 5. Raise the bowl slowly to leave the fill area smooth. Then raise it high enough to clear obstacles. 6. Move the cushion hitch control to CUSHION RIDE. Return to the cut at the highest safe speed.Transporting Hints
Check the regulations covering transportation of cylinders containing compressed gas (cushion hitch accumulator).Check the travel route for overpass clearances. Be sure that there will be adequate clearance if the machine being transported is equipped with a ROPS (Rollover Protective Structure) or cab. Observe laws for width, weight and hauling permits.
Transporting on a Trailer or Flatcar
Do not depend on the brake system to hold the machine on the trailer or flatcar.Always block and adequately secure the machine.
Block the trailer or flatcar wheels before loading the machine onto it. Remove ice, snow or slippery material from the loading dock and trailer or flatcar before loading.
1. Move the cushion hitch lever to LOCKDOWN. 2. Lower the bowl and apron.3. Stop the engine.4. Turn OFF the disconnect switch and remove the key.5. Block the tractor and scraper wheels. Secure the machine with adequate tie downs.
Protect the engine cooling system with antifreeze, to the lowest expected temperature on the travel route, or drain cooling system completely.
6. Install and lock all vandalism guards, covers, and caps.7. Cover the engine exhaust opening to prevent turbocharger "windmilling" in transit.8. Cover the operator's seat, or if equipped with a cab, close and lock the cab door.Transporting with the Tractor on a Trailer and the Scraper Wheels on the Ground
When hauling the machine with the scraper wheels on the ground, brake air pressure could bleed down and cause the emergency brakes to be applied.If scraper brakes are applied the machine could be pulled off the trailer.To prevent this, remove the pin connecting each scraper rotochamber to the brake slack adjuster and remove the rotochamber.
Do not exceed 32 km/h (20 mph). Stop every three hours or 64 km (40 miles) for 30 minutes to allow tires and bearings to cool.
