CONTROLS AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT

Become familiar with and know how to use all safety devices and controls on the machine before operating it. Know how to stop machine operation before starting it. This machine is designed and intended to be used only with Manitou attachments or Manitou Group-approved referral attachments or accessories. Manitou Group cannot be responsible for operator safety if the machine is used with non-approved attachments.

Guards and Shields

Whenever possible and without affecting machine operation, guards and shields are provided to protect against potentially hazardous areas. In many places, safety decals are also provided to warn of potential hazards and/or to display special operating procedures.

Read and thoroughly understand all safety decals on the machine before operating it. Do not operate the machine unless all factory-installed guards and shields are properly secured in place.

Operator Restraint Bar

Lower the operator restraint bar after entering the operator’s compartment and sitting in the seat. The restraint bar is securely anchored to the ROPS/FOPS. The operator must be seated with the restraint bar in its lowered position to start or operate the machine. Refer to Safety Interlock System on page26 for more information.

The dual joystick restraint bar provides fore-aft adjustment that allows the operator to determine the most comfortable position of the restraint bar. The right and left portions of the restraint bar system can be adjusted independent of one another by pushing the lever on the lower inside of either pad. The restraint pad can then be used to adjust to the desired position. The restraint pad locks in place when it is released.

Warning Warning Warning

Safety Interlock System

Hydraloc™

NEVER defeat the safety interlock system by mechanically or electrically bypassing any switches, relays or solenoid valves.

An interlock system is provided on the machine for operator safety. Together with solenoid valves, switches and relays, the interlock system:

 Prevents the engine from starting unless the operator is sitting on the seat and the operator restraint bar is lowered.

 Disables the lift arm, auxiliary hydraulics, attachment tilt and wheel drives whenever the operator leaves the seat, turns the keyswitch to OFF or raises the restraint bar.

Note: The auxiliary hydraulic circuit can be detented in the “on” position for continuous operation with the restraint bar raised and operator out of the seat. (See Auxiliary Hydraulic Controls, page48.)

Testing the Safety Interlock System

Before exiting the machine, check the safety interlock system for proper operation:

Restraint Bar

With the engine running, raise the restraint bar. Test each of the controls. There should be no more than a slight movement of the lift arm, hitch and machine. If there is any significant movement, troubleshoot and correct the problem immediately. Contact your dealer if necessary.

Seat Switch

With the engine off and the restraint bar lowered, unfasten the seatbelt, and lift your weight off the seat. Try to start the engine. If the engine starts, turn off the engine, troubleshoot and correct the problem. Contact your dealer if necessary.

ROPS/FOPS

The Roll-Over/Falling Object Protective Structure (ROPS/FOPS) is designed to provide protection for the operator from falling objects and in a tip over accident, if the operator is secured inside the operator’s compartment by the seatbelt and restraint bar.

Warning

Lift Arm Support Device

The lift arm support device is used as a cylinder lock to prevent the raised lift arm from lowering unexpectedly. Be sure to install the support device when the lift arm is raised for service. When the support device is not being used, return it to its storage position. The support device is a safety device which must be kept in proper operating condition at all times. The following steps ensure correct usage:

Warning

With the key switch OFF and the solenoid valve working properly, the lift arm will stay raised when the lift control is moved to lower the lift arm. If the valve does not hold the lift am and it begins to lower do not leave the operator’s compartment. Instead, lower the lift arm and exit the machine. Then, contact your authorized dealer immediately to determine why the lift arm lowers while the key switch is OFF.

Installation

To install the lift arm support device:

1.Raise the lift arm to full height.

2.Stop the engine.

3.Move the lift arm control to “lower” to verify that the lift arm is being held in the raised position by the safety interlock system.

4.Have an assistant remove the lift arm support device from its storage loca tion (Fig.4) on the left side of the machine and install the lift arm sup port device on the left lift cylinder (Fig.3).

5.Secure the support device to the lift cylinder rod with the attached lock pin and chain.

6.Restart the engine.

7.Slowly lower the lift arm until it engages and locks against the lift arm support device.

8.Stop the engine and exit the machine.

Removal

The safest method of installing and removing the lift arm support device requires two people – one person inside the machine and another person outside the machine to install the support device.

Warning

To return the lift arm support device to its storage position:

1.Start the engine-

2.Raise the lift arm fully-

3.Stop the engine-

4.Verify that the lift arm is being held in the raised position by the safety interlock system.

Warning

With the key switch OFF and the solenoid valve for the safety interlock system func tioning properly, the lift arm will stay raised when the lift control is moved to “lower”. If the lift arm moves, do NOT leave the oper ator’s compartment. Instead, have an assistant remove the support device for you. Then, contact your authorized dealer to determine the reason why the lift arm lowers while the key switch is in the OFF position.

5.Have an assistant remove the lift arm support device.

6.Lower the lift arm and secure the lift arm support device with the lynch pin in the storage location (Fig.4).
