Getting in or out of operator’s cab
WARNING
Before getting in or out of the operator’s cab, turn the joystick
ON/OFF switch to the OFF position, slide the joystick console
fully to the rear, and lock it in position. If you grip the console tilt
lever and tilt the lever portion of the joystick console to the rear,
the joystick steering system power is turned OFF and the joy-
stick is made inactive.
The joystick console slides a maximum of 220 mm (8.7 in) to the
rear to make it easier to get in or out of the operator’s cab.
When the engine is running, there is danger that if the joystick
lever is moved by mistake, the machine may articulate unex-
pectedly. To avoid this, always turn the joystick ON/OFF switch
to the OFF position when not operating the machine.

The power is turned OFF and the joystick steering system is
made inactive.
2. When starting operations, turn joystick ON/OFF switch (1) to
the ON position.
