CONTROLS
SEAT AND SEAT BELT
(D) The fore/aft isolator
It is activated under certain conditions such
as crashing. Impacts of crash applied in the
operating direction can be well absorbed by
the operator’s seat. Switching can be done
with the lever (4).
Position 1: Fore/aft isolator on
Position 2: Fore/aft isolator off
(E) Adjusting according to operator’s weight
IMPORTANT: Before performing the
adjustment by weight, stop the machine
and remain seated. Otherwise, the weight
cannot be detected, resulting in
malfunction.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to set the absorber
to the soft cushioning position (1) when
performing the adjustment by weight.
The seat should be adjusted according to
the operator’s weight. Briefly pull the actuator
lever (5) of the automatic weight and height
adjuster.
(F) Adjusting the seat height
IMPORTANT: Be sure to set the absorber
to the soft position (1) when performing
the height adjustment.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the lever (5)
(compressor) for one minute or more.
Doing so will cause compressor failure.
To protect the compressor, wait for at
least three minutes before operating the
lever (5) again.
IMPORTANT: If the height adjustment
function fails, first lower the seat to the
lowest position. Then, adjust the height
again.
The seat height can be steplessly adjusted
using the pneumatic mechanism.
To adjust, push up or push down the lever (5)
all the way up or down. When the seat
reaches the level where it cannot be raised
anymore even the lever (5) is pushed up, that
level is the highest. If this happens, the
height is automatically lowered a small
distance to maintain the stroke of
suspension.
Adjustment stroke: 80 mm (3.1 in.)
(G) Adjusting the seat pan angle
The angle of the seat pan can be individually
adjusted.
To adjust, lift the left side handle (6). Use the
pressure applied to the seat to set the seat
pan to the desired angle.
