EMERGENCY STOPS / SAFETY DEVICES
___________________________________________________________________
Each machine produced has an emergency stop buttons fitted to it.
The emergency stop when actuated will stop the engine immediately.
Caution must be taken as some hydraulic movement is still possible due to the effects of
gravity and stored energy, machine mechanism weights and fluid return when control
levers are moved.
To operate the emergency stop, strike the red button towards its base. The button will
push down and lock into place and stop the engine.
To reset the button, pull the button away from its base and it will lock back into place.
To then start the engine, the ignition must be turned off and on again.
Regular operational checks of the emergency button should be performed.
Do not use the emergency stop button as the normal stopping method. Please use the
ignition key as this will prevent premature wear or damage to the device.

to the right hand side.
