Pilot Control Shut-Off Lever - Hitachi EX1900-5 Operator's Manual

PILOT CONTROL SHUT-OFF LEVER

Pilot control shut-off lever (1) functions to prevent
misoperation of the machine from occurring if the control
levers are accidentally moved when leaving the operator's
seat or when entering the cab.
CAUTION:
1. Always pull pilot control shut-off lever (1) into
the full LOCK position. The pilot control shut-
off function will not be activated otherwise.
2. When leaving the machine:
• Stop the engine.
• • • • Then, pull the pilot control shut-off lever up to
the LOCK position.
3. Always check to be sure that the pilot control
lever is pulled up to the LOCK position before:
• • • • Transporting the machine.
• • • • Leaving the machine at the end of the shift.
4. Take care not touch any control levers and
travel levers before operating the pilot control
shut-off lever. If any control levers are
operated before moving the pilot control shut-
off lever to the UNLOCK position, the machine
may unexpectedly move when the pilot control
shut-off lever is operated, possibly causing
personal injury or death.
Pilot Control Shut-Off Lever Operation
Before Leaving the Machine:
1. Park the machine on a firm, level surface. Lower the
bucket to the ground. Return all control levers to neu-
tral. Properly shut down the engine.
2. Pull pilot control shut-off lever (1) up into the full
LOCK position.
Before Starting Operation:
1. Confirm that pilot control shut-off lever (1) is pulled up
to the LOCK position.
After starting the engine:
1. Confirm that all control levers and pedals are in
neutral and that no part of the machine is in motion.
2. Lower pilot control shut-off lever (1) to the UNLOCK
position.
If any part of the machine (any actuator) moves when the
pilot control shut-off lever is lowered to the UNLOCK
position despite the fact that all controls are placed in
neutral, the machine is malfuntioning. Immediately pull
the pilot control shut-off lever back to the LOCK position,
and stop the engine. Then, see your authorized dealer.
