SEGMENT-CONE 3518924 - Caterpillar

Machine Operating Temperature Range
The standard machine configuration is intended for use within an ambient temperature range of 0° C (32° F) to 50° C (122° F). Special configurations for different ambient temperatures may be required. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for additional information on special configurations of your machine.Machine Operation
Illustration 1 g01717315
Illustration 2 g03553581Note: For information on steering alignment refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Operator Controls - Joystick Steering Alignment".Only operate the machine while you are in the seat. The seat belt must be fastened while you operate the machine. Only operate the controls while the engine is running.Before you operate the machine, remove the wheel lean locking bolt from the wheel lean lock bracket. Make sure that the frame lock pin is stored in the unlocked position. Articulate the machine. The frame lock link must be removed in order to articulate the machine.Note: With joystick steering, the position sensors for the steering cylinders limit the steering angle of the axle. This causes the axle stops to not make contact.Do not use the wheel lean locking bolt and the wheel lean lock bracket in order to center the wheel lean of the machine.While the ground is being graded, do not operate the machine with the doors open.While you operate the machine slowly in an open area, check for proper operation of all controls and all protective devices.Before you maneuver the machine, make sure that no personnel are between the machine and attachments.Before you move the machine, make sure that no one will be endangered.When you operate the machine and the worktool in an open area, check for proper operation of the controls. Check for operation of the protective devices.Do not allow riders on the machine while the machine is being operated.Never use the work tool for a work platform.Reduce engine speed when you maneuver in tight quarters or when you are going over a hill.Do not operate the machine close to a cliff. Do not operate the machine near an excavation. Do not operate the machine near an overhang.When you operate the machine downhill, use two transmission gears less than the transmission gear that is used up the same hill.Note: Caterpillar does not recommend that you shift to the NEUTRAL position when you operate the machine downhill. If you shift to the NEUTRAL position the machine may require additional braking effort that could accelerate wear of the service brake components.Do not allow the engine to overspeed when you operate the machine downhill. If overspeed exists, use the service brake control to decrease the speed to a level that will allow you to downshift. Repeat this process until a stable speed is obtained. Before the engine is pushed beyond a dangerous speed level, the transmission will automatically upshift in order to keep the engine speed within a safe speed range. However, when the maximum gear is reached, the service brakes must be used to control the machine speed and the service brakes must be used to prevent the engine from overspeeding.Carry
