IMPORTANT: Do not high pressure wash.
High pressure washing can damage the elec-

Tyres and Traction
WARNING! Dingo tyres should be lled with
water or solid ll. Failure to do so will result in
poor weight distribution, which will drastically
reduce the stability and carrying capacity of the
machine.
Use of incorrect tyre pressure will also reduce
the stability and carrying capacity of the Dingo.
The correct tyre pressure is usually between 140
and 155 kpa (20-22psi). Various types of equip-
ment are available for lling tyres with water.
Filling equipment can also be purchased from
Dingo Mini Diggers.

your machine may not be the most suitable for
all work environments and there is a range of
traction equipment to suit every application.

Operating
Instructions
Read all the safety instructions and the pre start

levers (including auxiliary lever) unless you
are standing with both feet on the platform and
rmly holding the grip handles.
IMPORTANT! Ensure the auxiliary hy-
draulic lever is in the centre position before
attempting to start engine. The most common
cause of ‘hard to start/engine, will not turn over
fast enough, battery does not have enough pow-
er’ type starting problems is that the auxiliary
lever has been left on or knocked into gear and
the engine is trying to start under load.
