51 S850 Operation & Maintenance Manual
BACK-UP ALARM SYSTEM
Description
Figure 54
The Back-up Alarm (Item 1) [Figure 54] is located on the
inside of the rear door.
A back-up alarm is not a substitute for looking to the
re
ar 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 al
ways 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.

The back-up alarm will sound when the operator moves
both steering handles or joystick(s) into the reverse
position. Slight movement of the steering handles into the
reverse position is required with hydrostatic
transmissions, before the back-up alarm will sound.
If alarm does not sound, see inspection and maintenance
inst
ructions for the back-up alarm system in the
preventive maintenance section of this manual. (See
BACK-UP ALARM SYSTEM on Page 112.)
