`Operation
`SMCS Code: 7000
`

`
`Sound the horn and allow adequate time for
`bystanders to clear the area before moving the
`machine into a restricted visibility area. Follow local
`practices for your machine application. For more
`information, refer to Operation and Maintenance
`Manual, Restricted Visibility.
`
`Machine Operating Temperature Range. The
`standard machine configuration is intended for use
`within an ambient temperature range of -40 °C
`(-40 °F) to 50 °C (122 °F). Special configurations for
`different ambient temperatures may be available.
`Consult your Caterpillar dealer for additional
`information on special configurations of your
`machine.
`Only operate the controls when the engine is running.
`You may operate the controls that have a DC power
`supply when the engine is off.
`
`While you operate the machine slowly in an open
`area, check for proper operation of all controls and all
`protective devices.
`
`Before you move the machine, be sure that no
`personnel are in danger.
`
`When the machine is moving in reverse and the rotor
`is running, raise the rotor to clear all the obstacles.
`
`When you start a cut, lower the rotor slowly. This will
`prevent the machine from riding up on the rotor and
`lunging backward.
`
`Never allow work to be performed in the area of the
`rotor while the rotor is running.
`
`When the machine is operating, do not allow anyone
`to stand or walk behind the machine. The machine
`may lunge backward if the rotor hits an obstruction.
`
`Never allow a truck to hit the conveyor. The conveyor
`structure or the support members could fail
`immediately if a truck contacts the upper conveyor
`with enough force. Minor contact by a truck can
`cause enough stress to start a hairline crack in the
`conveyor structure, support members, and welds.
`This will lead to a later failure.
`Do not allow riders on the machine.
`
`Note any needed repairs during machine operation.
`Report any needed repairs.
`
`Do not go close to the edge of a cliff, an excavation,
`or an overhang.
`
`Turn the machine downhill, if the machine begins to
`sideslip downward on a grade.

`Safety Section
`Operation
`
`Avoid any conditions that can lead to tipping the
`machine. The machine can tip when you work on
`hills, on banks, and on slopes. Also, the machine can
`tip when you cross ditches, ridges, or other
`unexpected obstructions.
`
`Avoid operating the machine across the slope. When
`possible, operate the machine up the slopes and
`down the slopes.
`
`Maintain control of the machine. Do not overload the
`machine beyond the machine capacity.
`
`Be sure that the towing devices are adequate.
`
`Never straddle a wire cable. Never allow other
`personnel to straddle a wire cable.
`
`Know the maximum dimensions of your machine.
`Limiting Conditions and Criteria
`
`Limiting conditions are immediate issues with this
`machine that must be addressed prior to continuing
`operation.
`
`The Operation and Maintenance Manual, Safety
`Section describes limiting condition criteria for
`replacing items such as safety messages, seat belt
`and mounting hardware, lines, tubes, hoses, battery
`cables and related parts, electrical wires, and
`repairing any fluid leak.
`
`The Operation and Maintenance Manual,
`Maintenance Interval Schedule describes limiting
`condition criteria that require repair or replacement
`for items (if equipped) such as alarms, horns, braking
`system, steering system, and rollover protective
`structures.
`
`The Operation and Maintenance Manual, Monitoring
`System (if equipped) provides information on limiting
`condition criteria, including a Warning Category 3
`that requires immediate shutdown of the engine.
`
`Critical Failures
`The following table provides summary information on
`several limiting conditions found in this Operation and
`Maintenance Manual. The table provides criteria and
`required action for the limiting conditions listed. Each
`System or Component in this table, together with the
`respective limiting condition, describes a potential
`critical failure that must be addressed. Not
`addressing limiting conditions with required actions
`may, along with other factors or circumstances, result
`in a risk of personal injury or death. If an accident
`occurs, notify emergency personnel and provide
`location and description of accident.
