OPERATION
STOPPING TRAVEL
• Park the machine on a flat, rigid and
safe ground. Set the parking brake. If
you must park on a slope, chock the
tracks to block the machine.
• Before standing up from the operator’s
seat, raise the safety bar to engage the
lock.
If any controls are accidentally touched
when the safety bar is not locked, the
machine will suddenly move and cause
serious injury or death.
Never stop running the machine suddenly
except in emergency. Stop in good time,
if possible.
1. Set the left control lever slowly to the
neutral position. The machine stops.
Braking is automatically applied by the
hydrostatic drive system when the left
control lever is returned to the neutral
position. Full braking is achieved when the
safety bar is raised.
OPERATING THE MACHINE
OPERATING THE WORKING EQUIPMENT
• Before starting operation, carefully
check which lever pattern you are going
to use.
• Make sure the bucket is lowered to the
ground before putting the lift arms in the
float mode. Putting the lift arms in the
float mode while they are raised will
cause the bucket to fall and is extremely
dangerous.
• Do not travel forward with the lift arms
in the float mode.
• When performing the combined
operation (bucket operation and the lift
arms lowering operation), be careful not
to keep performing after the bucket has
reached the stroke end. Doing so could
cause an unexpected movement of the
lift arms such as stopping without
lowering. Be careful of this movement of
arms.
Use the right control lever to operate the lift
arms and bucket.
Return the right control lever to the neutral
position to stop the lift arms and bucket.
1. Lower the safety bar to the unlock
position.
