Crushing Prevention and Cutting Prevention
Support the equipment properly when you work beneath the equipment. Do not depend on the hydraulic cylinders to hold up the equipment. An attachment can fall if a control is moved, or if a hydraulic line breaks.
Unless you are instructed otherwise, never attempt adjustments while the machine is moving. Also, never attempt adjustments while the engine is running.
Whenever there are attachment control linkages, the clearance in the linkage area will increase or the clearance in the linkage area will decrease with movement of the attachment. Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts.
Keep objects away from moving fan blades. The fan blade will throw objects or cut objects. Do not use a kinked wire cable or a frayed wire cable.
Wear gloves when you handle wire cable. When you strike a retainer pin with force, the retainer pin can fly out. The loose retainer pin can injure personnel. Make sure that the area is clear of people when you strike a retainer pin.
In order to avoid injury to your eyes, Wear protective glasses when you strike a retainer pin.
Chips or other debris can fly off objects when you strike the objects. Make sure that no one can be injured by flying debris before striking any object.
Operation
Clear all personnel from the machine and from the area.
Clear all obstacles from the path of the machine. Beware of hazards (wires, ditches, and so on).
Be sure that all windows are clean.
Secure the doors and the windows in the open position or in the shut position.
Adjust the rear mirrors (if equipped) for the best visibility close to the machine.
Make sure that the horn, the travel alarm (if equipped), and all other warning devices are working properly.
Fasten the seat belt securely.
Warm up the engine and the hydraulic oil before operating the machine.
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.
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, make sure that no one will be endangered.
Do not allow riders on the machine unless the machine has the following equipment:
• Additional seat
• Additional seat belt
• Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS)
Note any needed repairs during machine operation. Report any needed repairs.
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 hitches and the towing devices are adequate.
Never straddle a wire cable. Never allow other personnel to straddle a wire cable.
Before you maneuver the machine, make sure that no personnel are between the machine and the trailing equipment.
Always keep the Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) installed during machine operation.
Monitor the location of components that are mounted to the blade. Ensure that the components do not come into contact with other parts of the machine during operation.

Cross-section view, left orientation
g06241706
The cross-section view displays a cross-section representation of the design surface. Cross-section view shows the cutting edge relative to the guidance surface. The cross-section view is useful for monitoring the height of the cutting edge relative to the design surface, and the distance of the implement from the horizontal alignment.
Profile View
Illustration
Illustration 14 g06241710
Profile view
Profile view shows the machine as a side-on-view to the design. Profile view provides a representation of the machine relative to the guidance surface. If a 3D guidance method is chosen and a design is loaded, then the profile view shows a long section of the design surface. As the body of the machine rotates, the design surface representation updates accordingly.
3D View
Illustration 15 g06241712
3D view shows the machine and the surroundings of the plan as a three dimensionally rendered object. 3D view provides a representation of the machine situated within the terrain the machine is working. 3D view delivers a tool to increase situational awareness relative to the excavation plan.
Level (bubble) View
3D view
Illustration 16
Level (bubble) view
g06241714
Level view displays the current pitch and roll of an excavator, and is useful for helping to level the machine. Level view displays a level bubble, horizontal and vertical level bars, and an angle measurement. The level bubble provides a visual representation of the current pitch and roll information coming from the pitch and roll sensors. The pitch and roll text items appear in Level view by default, and are the only text items available.
The outer ring represents 45 degrees, the inner ring represents 22.5 degrees, and where the horizontal and vertical lines intersect represents 0 degrees. The bubble, the horizontal and vertical level bars, and the text items all update as the machine moves and the pitch and roll readings change.
Layouts
The different layout formats are given below:
• one view
• two views
• three views
Illustration 17 g06241716
One view
One view is a single view perspective that takes up the entire viewing stage of the display.
Illustration 18 g06241721
Two views
Two views split the viewing stage equally in half horizontally which provides two separate views, each half of the total vertical viewing stage.
Illustration 19 g06241725
Three views
Three views split the viewing stage horizontally into an upper section that is one third of the total vertical viewing stage and a lower section that is two thirds. The upper section, the one that is one third of the vertical viewing stage is split equally in half. This provides two viewing panels in the top section and one in the lower section.
View Manipulation
Zooming the View
Any view panel can be zoomed in or zoomed out to enable an operator to see more of a view or greater detail in a view.
20 g06241727
When zoomed in more detail can be seen on the screen. Zoomed in, less of the design and linework are visible.
• Use the pinch gesture to zoom in. Refer to Illustration 20.
Illustration
Illustration 21
g06241728
When zoomed out less detail is visible on the screen. Zoom out, more of the design and linework are visible.
• Use Spread gesture to zoom out. Refer to Illustration 21.
Panning Views
Any view panel image can be moved up, down, left, or right. This is "Panning".
To pan a view in any direction, the operator uses the drag gesture sliding the finger of the operator in any direction to pull the view panel image in that direction. Refer to Illustration 23. Refer to Section "Gestures" for more details.
Note: Illustration 23 is used to show view manipulation for the 3D View. However, the principle of that manipulation is the same for any view.
Centering a view
Any view can be panned and almost any view can be zoomed. If an operator has intentionally or accidentally panned and/or zoomed a view and needs to reset that view, the "Centering" button can be
used. The "Centering" button will recenter the view and set the view back to its default zoom (magnification). The "Centering" button will appear in the upper right corner of a viewing panel. The "Centering" button will only appear if the view in a viewing panel has been panned or zoomed. If a view has not been panned or zoomed, the Centering button will not be visible.
Panning and Rotating the 3D View
Rotate configuration
Pan configuration
The 3D view can rotate, pan, and zoom. By default the 3D View issetto be rotated. This is indicated by the"Rotate/Pan toggle" button in the upper left corner of the 3d View. To switch between rotate and pan, tap the "Rotate/Pan toggle" button. It will switch from the rotate configuration (Illustration 18) to the pan configuration (Illustration 19). Tapping the "Rotate/Pan toggle" button again will return it to the rotate configuration.
