SHIELD AS-HEAT 3034180 - Caterpillar

Machine Operating Temperature Range
Consult your Caterpillar dealer for specific information on the operating temperature range of your machine. Special configurations for different ambient temperatures may be available. Operational Checks
Check for proper operation of the steering controls and of the braking controls for the machine while the machine is moving slowly in an open area. Check the steering controls and the braking controls while the boom is retracted fully and the work tool is just clear of the ground. With the machine in a stationary position, check for the proper operation of the other controls for the machine. Unless the machine frame is level, do not raise the boom. The boom should only be extended if the machine frame is level. Extend the boom and retract the boom several times in order to warm the hydraulic oil.Travel
Only operate the machine while you are in a seat. The seat belt must be fastened while you operate the machine. Only operate the controls while the engine is running.Always drive on surfaces that are stable.When you travel on the roadways, operate the machine in two-wheel steer mode only.Before you maneuver the machine, make sure that no personnel are between the machine and the work tools. Use caution when you change direction of travel. Use caution when you operate the boom. Use caution when you are picking up or setting down loads. Travel in the direction of the best visibility. Travel with the boom fully retracted. Also, travel with the boom lowered as far as possible. Maintain adequate ground clearance for conditions. Never travel if a load is raised beyond the travel position. Be careful to avoid any ground condition which could cause the machine to tip. Avoid any conditions that can lead to tipping of the machine. The machine can tip when you work on the following obstacles: Banks, hills and slopes.Observe the following guidelines when the machine is being driven up a slope or down a slope:
Drive forward up slopes when the machine is carrying a load.
Reverse down slopes when the machine is carrying a load.Lifting Capacities
Maintain control of the machine. Do not overload the machine beyond the machine capacity. Ensure that the correct load chart is referenced. Loads must be within the weight limit of the machine and loads must be within the load center limit for the machine. Lifting capacity decreases as the load is moved further from the machine. The load charts are located on the right side window of the cab.Ensure that the tires are serviceable and that the tires are inflated to the correct pressure.If liquid ballast is specified for the tires, ensure that the correct levels are maintained. Failure to maintain the tires with the correct levels can result in a reduction in the machine stability. A decal is located near each wheel that gives the inflation pressure. The decal also indicates that ballast is installed.Before you transport a load or before you elevate a load, the load must be adequately secured on the forks
