WARNING For safety reasons, machines installed with single access canopies from new must not have
the barrier removed. The machine must always be entered/exited with the left hand isolator raised via the
left hand side.
WARNING Do not enter or exit the cab unless the controls isolation lever is in the fully raised position.
CAUTION Entering or leaving the operator station must only be made where steps and handrails are
provided. Always face the machine when entering and leaving. Make sure the step(s), handrails and your
boot soles are clean and dry. Do not jump from the machine. Do not use the machine controls as handholds,
use the handrails.
Entering the Canopy
1. Check that the left control console is raised. When the left control console is in the raised position the
excavator and track controls cannot be operated ( dozer control is still active).
Refer to: Control Lock.

Seat Belt
General
WARNING Operating the machine without a seat belt can be dangerous. Before starting the engine, make
sure your seat belt is fastened. Check the tightness and condition of the seat belt securing bolts regularly.
WARNING When a seat belt is installed on your machine replace it with a new one if it is damaged, if the
fabric is worn, or if the machine has been in an accident.
Static Seat Belt
Fasten the Seat Belt
WARNING If you do not wear your seat belt you could be thrown about inside the machine, or thrown out of
the machine and crushed. You must wear a seat belt when using the machine. Fasten the seat belt before
starting the engine.
1. Sit correctly in the seat.
2. Push the tongue into the latch. Make sure the seat belt is worn snug and properly located on the body.
Make sure the seat belt is not twisted and that it is over your hips not your stomach.

The ignition key operates the four-position ignition switch. The ignition key can only be inserted or removed
in position 0.
If the engine fails to start, the ignition key must be returned to position 0 before the starter motor is re-engaged.
Do not crank the engine for more than 30s. Allow the starter motor to cool for at least 2min before cranking
the engine again.

Digging
General
WARNING Do not use pedals which are not locked in position as foot rests.
Notice: When carrying out deep digging it is advisable to have the super structure swung in line with the
chassis. It is possible that part of the dig end may contact the machine. Take extra care when digging to
avoid damaging the machine.
Notice: Do not excavate on hard or rocky ground with the boom positioned diagonally across the
undercarriage. The resulting rocking motion could cause damage to the track gearbox sprockets and tracks.
Notice: Do not use the side of the excavation to stop the bucket when slewing back into position for the
next dig. Similarly, do not use the side of the bucket to push soil into the excavation. Both these practices
will damage the machine.
It is possible when excavating, to use either full machine slew when discharging a loaded bucket, or if conditions
dictate, swinging the excavator end only to the required dumping area.
1. To start the dig, reach out with the boom and dipper and position the bucket.
2. Slowly crowd the bucket at the same time bring the dipper in. Make sure the bucket stays at the same angle
to the ground while it travels. If necessary, at the same time apply a downward pressure on the boom, to
increase the digging force on the bucket.
Figure 71.
3. When the bucket is full, crowd it fully and at the same time move the dipper out a small distance. This will
keep soil from building up under the machine.
Figure 72.
4. Slew the machine or swing the bucket to the dump area.
Insert isolator key (A) and
turn in a clockwise direction.
Turn ignition to position 1 (A)
to pre-heat engine before start.
Wait until pre-heat symbol (B)
on instrument panel goes off.
Lower the LH arm rest to
activate the hydraulics.
Note: If 2 GO enabled go to step 8,
if not go to step 9
If enabled press 2 GO button
(A) to activate hydraulics.
Instrument panel will illuminate
(B) when active.
All controls are now active
and the machine is now ready
to use.
If fitted disarm by entering
4-digit PIN code then push
ENT button.
From ignition position 1 turn
ignition to position 3 (A) to start
the machine.
Ensure the hydraulic isolation
lever (left hand arm rest) is in
the raised position.

If the PIN code is incorrectly entered five times the immobiliser will lock for 15min. In this event it is
recommended that you contact the machine owner for confirmation of the PIN code.
The PIN code will have to be entered every time that the ignition is switched off for longer than two minutes.
To Disarm the Immobiliser to Allow the Machine to be Used
1. Put the ignition key in the ignition switch. Turn the ignition key to position 1.
2. Enter your four digit PIN code using the keypad.
3. Push the 'ENT' button. The LED will come on for three seconds if the PIN code is correct and the machine
can be started.
4. If an incorrect PIN code is entered the unit will lock. The LED will flash twice quickly, pause and then flash
twice again and will continue this pattern until the ignition key is turned to the off position. In this event
return to step 1 to try again.
4.1. After five failed tries the system will lock.
Duration: 15min

To Arm the Immobiliser
1. Stop the engine. Remove the ignition key.
2. The immobiliser arms automatically after two minutes. The green LED flashes for 60 seconds, then goes off.
3. If you restart the engine within two minutes, the system disarms automatically.
To Add a New or Additional PIN Code
Before you try to add a new or additional PIN code, make sure that the machine is ready to start and that you
have your six digit master code and your new four digit PIN code available.
If you are unsure of the master code or your new PIN code, then do not start this procedure.
The keypad immobiliser can be programmed to accept up to 14 different four digit PIN codes, any of which
will let the machine be started.
1. Put the ignition key in the ignition switch. Turn the ignition key to position 1
2. Enter your six digit master code using the keypad. Push the 'ENT' button.
3. The LED will flash three times to indicate the acceptance of the master code.
4. Within 59 seconds of the three flashes, push the 'MD' button.
