Starting the Engine
Stand on the platform. Move the auxiliary
hydraulics lever to neutral. Follow
instruction on starting engine as detailed in
the engine manufacturer's manual.
Stopping the Engine
Refer to the engine manual.
Note:
If the engine has been working hard
or is hot, let it idle for a minute before
turning the ignition key to OFF. This helps
cool the engine before it is stopped. In an
emergency, turning the ignition key to OFF
will stop the engine.
Stopping the Dingo
To stop the machine, move the drive control
levers to neutral, lower Dingo arms to the
ground, and turn the ignition key to OFF to
stop the engine. Remember to remove the
key from the key switch. If the machine is
parked on a slope, chock the wheel.
CAUTION
! If children or bystanders
attempt to operate the machine, someone
could be injured. To avoid attempted use
by children or bystanders while machine is
unattended, remove the key from the
ignition, even if just for a few minutes.
Moving a Non Functioning
Dingo
The best way to move a non functioning
Dingo is by forklift or crane. It is also
possible to push or tow a Dingo without the
use of the engine. . Please call your nearest
Dingo service centre for more information.
Using Cylinder Locks
IMPORTANT:
Normal maintenance should
be completed with the Dingo arms lowered.

Engage the attachment lock pins (the lock
pins should go down 15mm as they turn).

turned towards the inside to engage.
8 Note:
Proceed to next step if auxiliary
hydraulics are required with attachment.

matter is cleaned from hydraulic
connections before making connections.

always install cylinder locks or a safety
stand. (Contact a Dingo representative for
more information).
