proximately 4 seconds after all control levers are returned
to neutral, the engine speed decreases to the auto-idle set-
ting to save fuel consumption. The engine speed will im-
mediately increase to the speed set by engine control dial
(2) when any control lever is operated.

Always be aware of engine control dial setting
when auto-idle switch (1) turned to the A/I po-
sition. If the engine speed is set high with en-
gine control dial (2), and if the operator is not
aware of the high engine speed setting, the
engine speed will unexpectedly increase
when any control lever is operated, causing
unexpected machine movement, thus possi-
bly resulting in serious personal injury.

when the key switch is in ON position. Always check if the
auto-idle function is turned on or off with auto-idle indicator
(1).
