During maintenance and service of this machine
lockups must also be engaged, unless the lockup of the
assembly prevents access to the area being serviced.
All lockups must be unlocked prior to performing any

This machine is equipped with hydraulically operated
lockups. These lockups are engaged (locked) or
disengaged (unlocked) using pushbuttons on the
operator control panel.
To engage the lockups, at the operator control follow
the instructions provided in the table on the previous

the air springs, and disables the hand controllers.
