OPERATION OPERATION
3-94
TRANSMISSION CUT-OFF FUNCTION 0.
When the transmission cut-off switch is pressed, the pilot lamp
lights up, and the following transmission cut-off function is actu-
ated.
When the left brake pedal is depressed, the brake is actuated,
and in addition, the transmission is shifted to neutral at the pre-
selected brake pedal depression position.
REMARK
! The cut-off function is actuated only with the left brake pedal.
! When the transmission cut-off switch is at the OFF position, the left brake pedal works in the same way
as the right brake pedal.
For details of adjusting the brake pedal depression position, see “ADJUSTING TRANSMISSION CUT-OFF
POSITION ( 3-95 )“.
! Raise or lower the pre-selected brake pedal depression position to adjust the cut-off to match the type
of work.
! When carrying out scooping-up work, the brake pedal
depression position is lowered for the cut-off (transmission
shifted to neutral), and the transmission driving force is cut
at a point where there is ample braking force, so this pre-
vents the machine from slipping down.
! When approaching dump trucks during loading operations,
the brake pedal depression position is raised for the cut-off
(transmission shifted to neutral), and the fine control of the
braking immediately before dumping the load is carried out
with the
brake only, so this makes it easy to control and allows the
machine to be brought to a soft stop.
