Rotating the upper carriage
Important!
• Until the hydraulic fluid reaches operating temperature, the upper carriage
can creep slightly after the control is placed in the neutral position.
• Fast actuation of the control lever rotates the upper carriage fast, slow
actuation of the control lever rotates the upper carriage slowly.
• If the upper carriage needs to be rotated on a slope, let the engine run at
idling speed and actuate the control lever very slowly. Proceed with
extreme care and avoid abrupt movements if the bucket is full.
Rotate the upper carriage to the left as follows:
☞ Push the left-hand side control lever 2 to the left A
➥ The upper carriage rotates to the left
