Dingo K9-3 Operation & Maintenance Manual

drive control levers backward.
To go straight, apply equal pressure to both drive
control levers.
To turn, decrease pressure on the drive control
lever closest to the direction you want to turn.
The farther you move the drive control levers
in either direction, the faster the machine will
move in that direction.
To slow or stop, move or release the drive control
levers into neutral. (If released the control levers
will automatically return to neutral).
The Dingo is capable of turning on the spot by
applying equal power to each drive lever in op-
posite directions.
Attachment Tilt Lever
To tilt/crowd attachment forward, slowly push
the tilt lever forward.
To tilt attachment backward, slowly pull the tilt
lever backward.
Loader Arms Lever
To lower Dingo arms, slowly push arm lever
forward.
To raise Dingo arms, slowly pull arms lever
backward.

Auxiliary Hydraulic lever
The auxiliary hydraulics lever allows you to alter
the direction of rotation of hydraulically driven
attachments or stop them completely.
ATTENTION: Ensure auxiliary hy-
draulic lever is in neutral position before start-
ing engine. Aside from starting difculties the
attachment may move during starting.
To operate attachment in forward direction,
slowly pull auxiliary lever rearward. To op-
erate attachment in reverse direction, slowly
push auxiliary lever forward.
Pump Selector Lever
When faster ground speed and lifting speed is
required (bucket work) more than attachment
speed and power, push the pump selector lever
to the forward position (Hare).
When faster attachment speed and power is re-
quired (trenching, post hole digging etc) more
than ground speed and lifting power, pull the
pump selector lever to the rearward position
(Turtle).
Flow Divider Control
In its normal operating position (12 o’clock)
no ow division is taking place. Moving the
lever towards the nine o’clock position, diverts
oil ow to the attachment and less is available
to the Dingo wheels and arms. This allows
for greater concentration of power where it is
needed most.
The ow divider is mainly used for trenching,
rotary hoeing and stump grinding where it is im-
portant for the attachment to have as much power
as possible and ground speed is not important.
