PARKING AND STOPPING THE
ENGINE
1. When the work day is finished, make sure the
machine is parked on level ground. The machine must
be on level ground before you do scheduled
maintenance.
IMPORTANT:
If you must temporarily park the machine
on a slope or incline, position the machine at right angle
to the slope, with the front of the machine toward the
bottom of the hill. Make sure the machine is behind an
object that will not move.
2. Support or lower all attachments to the ground.
3. Apply the parking/emergency brake and shift the
transmission to NEUTRAL.
4. If the unit has been operating under a heavy load,
decrease the engine speed to 1/4 throttle for two
minutes to evenly cool the engine.
5. Push the throttle lever towards the SLOW position
and turn the key switch to the OFF position. Remove
the key from the ignition switch.
6. Always use the hand rail and step to get on or off the
machine.
7. Fill fuel tank at the end of each day of operation to
prevent condensation and moisture in the tank.
MACHINE OPERATION
The Seat Interlock System REQUIRES the operator to be
seated in the operator’s seat when starting and operating
this machine.
NOTE:
If the operator DOES NOT remain seated when
the Ground Drive Control lever is not in NEUTRAL, the
system will stop the engine in 5 seconds. It is the
operator’s responsibility to operate this machine in a safe
manner. DO NOT lay a weighted object on the seat,
bypass or tamper with the Seat Interlock System in any
way.
When the engine is warm do the following:
1. Pull the throttle out to FULL.
2. Raise the equipment (trencher, plow, etc.).
3. Put the parking brake in OFF (Released).
4. Slowly move the direction control lever forward or
backward. The machine will move in the direction that
you move the control lever.
NOTE:
You MUST be seated in the operator’s seat before
moving machine or engine will shut down in 5 seconds.
NOTE:
The speed of machine travel is controlled by the
direction control lever. The farther you move the direction
control lever from the NEUTRAL position, the faster the
machine will go.
IMPORTANT:
Control speed of machine travel with the
direction control lever, not the throttle.
5. Check the warning lamps frequently.
NOTE:
Before you stop the engine, read the instructions
for Parking and Stopping the Engine in this manual
.
WARNING:
Jumping on or off the
machine can cause an injury. Always face
the machine, use the hand rails and steps,
and get on or off the machine slowly.
WARNING:
The operator presence/seat
interlock system provides protection from injury.
Do not disable the system.
WARNING:
DO NOT operate the machine while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
WARNING:
Before each period of operation,
check the machine for correct operation of the
steering, brakes, hydraulic controls, instruments,
and safety equipment. Check the NEUTRAL
position of the Ground Drive Control Lever. A
machine that runs correctly can prevent accidents.
Make all necessary repairs or adjustments before
you operate the machine.
WARNING:
Avoid exposure to dust
containing crystalline silica particles. This
dust can cause serious injury to the lungs
(silicosis).
WARNING:
Operate controls only when in the
operator’s seat.
WARNING:
CLEAR THE WORK AREA OF ALL
BY-STANDERS. During digging maintain a
minimum safety zone of 50 ft (15 M) around the
machine.
WARNING:
Hillside operation can be
dangerous. Rain snow, ice, loose gravel, soft
ground, etc., change the ground conditions. You
must make a judgement if your machine can be
safely operated on any hillside or slope greater
than 20°.
