The excavator shall include a switch-controlled travel motion alarm system including a cancellation with auto-reactivate feature. Travel motors shall be equipped with a device to prevent over-speeding when going down an incline.

Steering:

Independent drive to each track that allows track counter-rotation. Foot pedal control steering and/or combination lever-steer system shall be provided. Shall include straight line travel pedal or similar feature.

Brakes:

Service brakes shall be wet disc design that automatically releases when propelling and applies when stationary.

Tracks and Undercarriage:

The undercarriage and tracks shall be sealed and lubricated.
