Tramming the machine
The machine can be trammed in the local mode at the valve banks located at the operator's station or in the remote mode with the radio transmitter.
WARNING! Before operating 'either tram control lever, ensure that; all other personnel are completely clear of the machine; roof clamps are completely retracted (if equipped); trailing cable has sufficient slack; no electrical or water lines are in the path to be traveled; and the conveyor and crusher have been turned off.
WARNING! When tramming the machine from the operator's station, the operator should stand beside the machine facing the conveyor with the tram control levers at arms length. Care should be taken to ensure that the operator's feet do not get under the crawler tracks while the machine is moving.
NOTICE! The feeder breaker has skid type steering; it is capable of turning within its own limits.
