STEERING
GROUND DRIVEN STEERING (IF EQUIPPED)
If there is a drop in hydraulic steering pressure, the ground driven steering will be actuated
automatically and a warning light on the instrument panel will flash. The amount of oil supplied by
the ground driven pump depends upon the machine ground speed (pump driven by the
transmission output shaft). The steering response is reduced as the machine slows down.
WARNING! If the ground driven steering warning light comes "ON", immediately
maneuver the machine to a safe place. Shut down the engine and apply the
parking brake. Correct the problem before operating the machine again.
WARNING! The steering response with ground driven steering system actuated
depends upon the machine ground speed. The steering response is reduced as
the machine slows down.
4.15. STOPPING THE MACHINE (Fig. 4.25)
Perform the steps the in following order:
1. Fully release accelerator pedal (4).
2. Apply brake pedal (3) until the machine comes to a complete stop. Braking efficiency depends
upon the amount of pressure exerted on the brake pedal, the higher pressure the more efficient
braking.
WARNING!: Never brake with the drive disconnected (33, Fig. 4.4 or 4.5) when
traveling fast or going downhill. Releasing the brake pedal automatically makes
the transmission clutches to re-engage. With ground speed higher than the
maximal speed at the previously shifted gear the machine will brake suddenly,
which may result in a loss of control or damage to the power train.
3. Place transmission direction lever (2) in "N" (neutral) position and lock the lever in this position.
WARNING!: The transmission can remain in gear when the machine is brought to
a temporary stop during operation. However, the operator must remain seated
with the seat belt fastened.
4. Apply parking brake (6).
5. Place bucket control lever (7, Fig. 4.24 or 5, 4.25) in the detented position - bucket roll back.
6. Push forward boom control lever (8, Fig. 4.24 or 5, 4.25) to lower the boom and rest the bucket
on the ground. The bucket will be leveled automatically.
WARNING!: Never leave the machine unattended with the engine running or the
bucket raised. When parking a machine: stop the engine, lower the bucket to the
ground, lock the transmission shift lever in neutral (N), apply the parking brake,
turn off the electric system master switch, and remove the keys.
