(4) Right work equipment control lever

Safety Lock Lever

Warning

● When leaving the operator's compartment, set the safety lock lever securely to the LOCK position. If the safety lock lever is not at the LOCK position and the control levers are touched by mistake, it may lead to serious personal injury.

● If the safety lock lever is not placed securely at the LOCK position, the control lever may move and cause a serious accident or injury. Check that the condition of the lever is as shown in the diagram.

● When pulling the safety lock lever up, be careful not to touch the work equipment control lever.

● When pushing the safety lock lever down, be careful not to touch the work equipment control lever.

Lever (1) is a device to lock the work equipment, swing, travel, and attachment (if equipped) control levers.

Pull the lever up to apply the lock.

This lock lever is a hydraulic lock, so even if it is in the lock position, the work equipment control lever and travel lever will move, but the work equipment, travel motor, and swing motor will not work.

TRAVEL LEVERS (WITH PEDAL, AUTO-DECELERATION MECHANISM)

Warning

● Do not put your foot on the pedal unless the machine is traveling. If you leave your foot on the pedal and press it by mistake, the machine will move suddenly, and this may lead to a serious accident.

● With the track frame facing to the rear, the machine will move in the reverse direction by forward traveling and in the forward direction by reverse traveling. When the travel lever is used, check to see if the track frame is facing forward or backward. (If the sprocket is located to the rear, the track frame is facing forward.)

● Be extremely careful when using the pedal for operations and travel.

This lever (2) is used to switch the direction of travel of the machine. () shows the operation of the pedal.

(a)FORWARD: The lever is pushed forward (The pedal is angled forward)

(b)REVERSE: The lever is pulled back (The pedal is angled back)

N(Neutral): The machine stops

REMARK

● Machines equipped with travel alarm (If equipped) If the lever is shifted to the advance or reverse position from the neutral position, the alarm sounds to warn that the machine is starting to advance.

● The travel lever can use the auto-deceleration mechanism to change the engine speed as follows.

● When the travel lever and work equipment control levers are at the neutral position, even if the fuel control dial is above midrange speed, the engine speed will go down to a midrange speed. If one of these levers is operated, the engine speed will rise to the speed set by the fuel control dial.

● If all the control levers are at the neutral position, the engine speed goes down approx. 100 rpm, then after approx. 4 seconds, the engine speed goes down to the deceleration speed (approx. 1400 rpm).

WORK EQUIPMENT CONTROL LEVER (WITH AUTO-DECELERATION MECHANISM)

Warning

If any lever is operated when in the deceleration range, the engine speed will suddenly increase, so be careful when operating the levers.

This Left work equipment control lever (3) is used to operate the arm and upper structure.

Arm operation / Swing operation

(A) Arm OUT

(B) Arm IN

(C) Swing to right

(D) Swing to left

N (Neutral):The upper structure and arm are held in position and do not move.

This Right work equipment control lever (4) is used to operate the boom and bucket.

Boom operation / Bucket operation

(a) RAISE

(b) LOWER

(c) DUMP

(d) CURL

N (Neutral):The boom and bucket are held in position and do not move.

For levers (2), (3) and (4), the engine speed changes as follows because of the auto-deceleration mechanism. When the travel lever and work equipment control levers are at the neutral position, even if the fuel control dial is above midrange speed, the engine speed will go down to a midrange speed. If one of these levers is operated, the engine speed will rise to the speed set by the fuel control dial.

If all the control levers are at the neutral position, the engine speed goes down approx. 100 rpm, then after approx. 4 seconds, the engine speed goes down to the deceleration speed (approx. 1400 rpm).

Door Lock
