E. Auxiliary Hydraulic Safety
Switch (if equipped)
This safety device has been
included to ensure that attach-
ments do not engage when the
machine is started. It must be
locked into its neutral position in
order for the machine to start.
Note: Item E is equipped with
an orange locking tab. It must be
disengaged before the switch
can be activated. Slide the tab
downward to disengage the lock.
F. Push to Operate Switch
The ST-50 is equipped with a
switch that must be depressed
in order for the hydraulic con-
trols to function. This helps to
ensure that an operator fully
intends to operate the machine
prior to allowing track movement
or attachment function to occur.
Note: Whenever the machine is
turned off or if a seat belt has
been unfastened during motion
(not recommended) the motion
controls will be disabled. You
must make sure seat belts are
fastened, then activate the push
to operate switch (item F) to
resume operation.
Cargo Bed Capacity
The bed capacity is the amount
of weight that can be safely
applied to the bed and carried
by the ST-50.
Bed Capacity: 4000 lbs.
Note: The bed capacity specifi-
cation is the total amount of
weight that may be applied to
the bed at any given time. This
figure includes accessories that
may be attached to the bed and
any other materials that may be
applied during operation.
Example:
Dump box weight: 750 Lbs.
Material in box: 3250 Lbs.
Total weight applied: 4000 Lbs.
Gross Vehicle Weight
The G.V.W. of the ST-50 should
never exceed 9,000Lbs. during
operation. This weight excludes
an operator, but does include
any accessories, attachments or
material being moved.
Operating the machine in excess
of the the G.V.W. will void the
warranty.
