Failure in one of the brake systems does not affect the
operation of the other system. However, the MANDA-
TORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE (p.
8) should be followed and any required repairs made
immediately.
Transmission Oil Temperature
Lamp: Located in the lower right
section of the lamp cluster
gauge, this lamp indicates
whether or not the transmission
oil is at the proper temperature.
During normal operation this lamp
should be off, indicating that the trans-
mission oil system is at the proper temperature.
IMPORTANT: If this lamp comes on during nor-
mal operation, a problem may exist in the trans-
mission oil system. Stop the machine immediate-
ly and investigate the cause of the problem!
Hourmeter: Located to the right of
the lamp cluster gauge, it indicates
the total operating time of the
machine and should be used for
keeping the maintenance log.
Top Row Switches
Switches have graphic symbols to indicate position
and response. The following mode descriptions start
with the first switch from the left.
NOTE: Some switches are optional and may not
be on machine.
Steer Selector: This 3-position switch is
used to select between three steer modes.
The upper position selects the 4-wheel
steer mode. This mode selects all wheel
steering for making tighter turns, usually
on a jobsite. The center position selects the
2-wheel steer mode. This mode selects front wheel
steering only, used for higher speed travel. The lower
position selects the crab steer mode. This mode is used
when a small amount of side shift is needed for pick-
ing or placing a load.
NOTE: The rear wheels are not self-centering.
Make sure all wheels are in a straight ahead posi-
tion before changing the steer mode.
Any of the steering position modes can be used in for-
ward and reverse travel. The operator should learn to
anticipate changes in machine movement if the steer-
ing selector mode must be changed.
Engine Fault Override Shutdown
Switch: Pressing the override shutdown
switch will override an engine shutdown
signal. The switch must be pressed within
30 seconds to prevent undesired shutdown of engine.
The switch can be overridden for 30 seconds at a time
to move the machine to a safe location and to lower the
boom to the ground. If the engine shuts down, the igni-
tion switch must be turned off and then back on before
the engine can be restarted.
NOTE: Holding the switch continously “ON” will
not reset the 30-second timer.
NOTE: Only machines equipped with the engine
shutdown protection have this switch.
Clutch Cutout: When activated, it allows
faster engine acceleration and more power
to the hydraulic system, without power to
the drive axles, while the service brake
pedal is pressed.
In the “OFF” position, the clutch mecha-
nism of the transmission remains engaged when apply-
ing brakes. In the “ON” position, the clutch mecha-
nism is disengaged while applying the brakes.
Normal brake force will hold the machine in position
while accelerating the engine to power hydraulic con-
trol functions during load placement.
Parking Brake: When the machine is shut
off, this switch should be depressed to
actuate the parking brake mechanism in
the front axle.
WARNING
Unattended machine hazard.
Activate parking brake switch and lower
attachment tool to ground before leaving
machine. An unattended machine can move or
roll and cause death or serious injury to oper-
ator or bystanders.
Periodically check the parking brake opera-
tion to maintain adequate holding power.
Always be sure the parking brake switch is off
when resuming machine operation.
