51 S130 Operation & Maintenance Manual
BACK-UP ALARM SYSTEM
Description
This machine can be equipped with Back-up Alarm
System.
Figure 31
The back-up alarm (Item 1) [Figure 31] is located on the
inside of the rear door.
A back-up alarm is not a substitute for looking to the
rear when operating the loader in reverse, or for
keeping bystanders away from the work area.
Operators must always look in the direction of travel,
including reverse, and must also keep bystanders away
from the work area, even though the loader is equipped
with a back-up alarm.
Operators must be trained to always look in the direction
of travel, including when operating the loader in
reverse and to keep bystanders away from the work
area. Other workers should be trained to always keep
away from the operator’s work area and travel path.
Operation
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
• Always keep bystanders away from the work area
and travel path.
• The operator must always look in the direction of
travel.
• The back-up alarm must sound when operating
the machine in the reverse direction.
W-2783-0409
The back-up alarm will sound when the operator moves
both steering levers or joystick(s) into the reverse
position. Slight movement of the steering levers into the
reverse position is required with hydrostatic
transmissions, before the back-up alarm will sound.
If alarm does not sound or for adjustment instructions,
see inspection and maintenance instructions for the
back-up alarm system in the preventive maintenance
section of this manual. (See BACK-UP ALARM SYSTEM
on Page 119.)
