INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
15/16 - BACKHOE CONTROL LEVERS
(Standard version)
DANGER
•
Before carrying out any manoeuvre with these levers, the
operator must be sitting in the working position, that is,
with the seat rotated by 180° with respect to the driving
position and with fastened safety belt; before any ma-
noeuvre, take all the precautions indicated in section
“3.13 USING THE MACHINE AS AN EXCAVATOR”.
•
The machine is equipped with an acoustic alarm that is
activated if the operator, with the engine running, moves
the reversing gear lever (1) to position F or R with the seat
rotated in any position different from the correct driving
position.
This is a danger signal, since it is absolutely forbidden to
carry out any movement with the machine while working
with the backhoe equipment or in any case with the seat
rotated by 180° with respect to the regular driving posi-
tion. Remember that the operator must carry out any
movement of the machine while seated in the correct driv-
ing position, with locked seat and fastened safety belt.
•
Before leaving the working position, lower the equipment
to the ground and do not stop the engine if the safety lock
is not engaged.
•
When travelling on roads, always lock the levers by means
of the safety lock.
The backhoe control levers can be equipped with different boom,
arm and bucket controls according to three different systems:
1 - ISO SYSTEM CONTROLS (Standard)
2 - KOMATSU SYSTEM CONTROLS (On request)
3 - X-SYSTEM CONTROLS (On request)
No movement can be carried out when the safety lever is shifted
upwards (see “3.1.2 BACKHOE LOCKS”).
The following diagrams show the basic and combined manoeu-
vres that can be performed with these three systems:
