OPERATION Traveling – Basic Movements
Fig. 2-216:
Travel straight forward/backward
Traveling movement is controlled by means of the travel pedals (112 and 113, Fig. 2-216:). The travel pedals return automatically to their neutral positions when released. During traveling, an acoustic warning signal sounds (Travel Alarm). All instructions with regard to travel direction control are applicable only as long as the crawler tracks have sufficient grip and do not slip. For information regarding traveling speed refer to section “Traveling speed – adjust”. The information given in this section are applicable when traveling on level ground and also when traveling the machine on moderate inclinations, e. g. on haulroads. For additional information about traveling on steep ramps and steep slopes refer to section “Traveling uphill and downhill on ramps and steep slopes”. Operate travel pedals gently Accelerate and decelerate travel movements gently. Sudden acceleration and abrupt braking from full speed are a huge strain for the machine. Avoid aggressive traveling practices.
Traveling straight forward Move both travel pedals in the direction of the front window. The machine moves in direction of the idlers (Fig. 2-217:). To stop travel movement, release the pedals, they return in neutral position. Fig. 2-217:
Note: Reverse the hydraulic shovel only over short distances and with the assistance of marshallers because of restricted rear-view conditions. Traveling straight backward Move both travel pedals in the direction of the operator’s seat. The machine moves in direction of the final drives (Fig. 2-218:). To stop travel movement, release the pedals, they return in neutral position. Fig. 2-218:
