Operating techniques
50 Operation of the machine
Operation of the machine
– Adjust the engine speed with the throttle lever (1).
– Raise excavator equipment and dozer blade with control levers
(8) and (9).
– Forward travel: Press both travel levers (6) forward.
– Reverse travel: Pull both travel levers (6) backward.
– Turn left: Pull the left lever backward.
– Turn right: Pull the right lever backward.
NOTE! When operating the travel levers the travel alarm (op-
tion) emits a warning signal.
Stability when working
The stability of the excavator is subjected to considerable chan-
ges. The operator himself must observe all special regulations
applicable to every operation in order to obtain full working safety.
WARNING!
If the dozer plate is in rear position (180 degree rotation),
travel system operation is reversed.
WARNING!
Prerequisite for good stability is that the machine is parked
on level ground of sufficient load bearing capacity. Care
should be taken if the ground is soft and uneven, sloped, in
danger of collapsing, side stress and other dangerous situ-
ations.
