3.3.6 SWINGING THE REVOLVING FRAME
WARNING
q
Before swinging the revolving frame, make sure that the area around the machine is safe.
1. To swing the revolving frame, use the left work equipment
control lever (1).
2. When the swing function is not used, shift the left lever (1) to
the neutral position (N). With the lever in this position, the
swing lock is automatically engaged.
(A): Swing to the left
(b): Swing to the right
NOTE
q
When the revolving frame swing function is used on a slope, let
the engine idle and operate the swing control lever very slowly.
Take care to avoid abrupt movements when the bucket is full.
q
When the bucket is full and the left work equipment control lever
is operated, the swing locking brake is released, so the revolv-
ing frame may swing momentarily, but this does not represent
an anomaly.
