Engine Stopping
Width of tracks or tires – Narrower tracks or
narr
ower tires further increase the digging into the
ground which causes the machine to be less stable.
Implements attached to the drawbar – This may
decr
ease the weight on the uphill tracks. This may
also decr
ease the weight on the uphill tires. The
decreased weight will cause the machine to be less
stable.
Height of the working load of the machine – Wh
en
the wor
king loads are in higher positions, the
stability of the machine is reduced.
Operated equipment – Be awa
re of performance
feat
ures of the equipment in operation and the
effects on machine stability.
Operating techniques – Ke
ep all attachments or
pulled loads low
to the ground for optimum stability.
Machine systems have limitations on slopes –
Slop
es can
affect the proper function and operation
of the various machine systems. These machine
systems are needed for machine control.
Note: Saf
e operation on steep slopes may require
special machine maintenance. Ex
cellent skill of the
operator and proper equipment for specific
applications are also required. Consult the
Operation and Maintenance Manual, sections for the
proper fluid level requirements and intended
machine use.
Engine Stopping
Do not stop the engine immediately after the
machine has been operated under load. This can
cause overheating and accelerated wear of engine
components.
After the machine is parked and the parking brake is
en
gaged,
allow the engine to run for two minutes
before shutdown. This allows hot areas of the engine
to cool gradually.
Equipment Lowering with
Engine Stopped
Before lowering any equipment with the engine
stopped, clear the area around the equipment of all
personnel. The procedure to use will vary with the
type of equipment to be lowered. Keep in mind most
systems use a high pressure fluid or air to raise or
lower equipment. The procedure will cause high
pressure air, hydraulic, or some other media to be
released in order to lower the equipment. Wear
appropriate personal protective equipment and
follow the established procedure in the Operation
and Maintenance Manual, “Equipment Lowering
with Engine Stopped” in the Operation Section of the
manual.
Sound Information and
Vibration Information
Sound Level Information
The operator Equivalent Sound Pressure Level (Leq)
is 81 dB(A) when “ANSI/SAE J1166 OCT 98” is used
to measure the value for an enclosed cab. This
proceeding is a work cycle sound exposure level.
The cab was properly installed and maintained. The
test was conducted with the cab doors and the cab
windows closed.
Hearing protection may be needed when the
m
ach
ine is operated with an open operator station
for extended periods or in a noisy environment.
Hearing protection may be needed when the
machine is operated with a cab that is not properly
maintained or when the doors and windows are
open for extended periods or in a noisy environment.
The average exterior sound pressure level is 86
d
B(
A) when the “SAE J88Apr95 - Constant Speed
Moving Test” procedure is used to measure the
value for the standard machine. The measurement
was conducted under the following conditions:
distance of 15 m (49.2 ft) and “the machine moving
forward in an intermediate gear ratio”.
Sound Level Information for
Machines in European Union
Countries and in Countries that
Adopt the “EU Directives”
The dynamic operator sound pressure level is 79
dB(A) when “ISO 6396:1992” is used to measure the
value for an enclosed cab. The cab was properly
installed and maintained. The test was conducted
with the cab doors and the cab windows closed.
