OPERATION
DETAILED CONTROLS AND GAUGES
Travel Levers (with Pedals)
WARNING
Do not put your foot on the pedal unless the machine is traveling. If you
leave your foot on the pedal and press it by mistake, the machine will
move suddenly, and this may lead to a serious accident. Do not rest a
foot on the pedal except when traveling or steering the machine, using
the pedal.
If the track frame is facing the rear, the direction of travel operations will
be reversed.
When operating the travel levers, check if the track frame is facing the
front or the rear.
(If sprocket (A) is at the rear, the track frame is facing the front.)
Take good care when traveling or steering the machine, using the pedal.
When getting in or out of the operator's compartment, there is danger
that your toes may catch on the travel pedal, so always fold back the
pedal so that it cannot be operated.
This lever (6) is used to change the direction of travel.
( ): This indicates operation of the pedal.
(a) FORWARD: This lever is pushed forward
(The pedal is angled forward)
(b) REVERSE: The lever is pulled back
(The pedal is angled back)
N (Neutral): The machine stops
When operating the pedal, first sit in the operator's seat, then fold
out the pedal.
After finishing pedal operations, fold back the pedal while still
seated in the operator's seat.
REMARK
If the lever is shifted to the advance or reverse position from the
neutral position, the alarm sounds to warm that the machine is
starting to advance.
