Safety lever (control locking lever)
Before leaving the driver seat, lower the equipment to the ground and shift the safety lever to the
q
"locked" position (L). If the safety lever is not in the "locked" position and the control levers are
touched by mistake, this may lead to serious injury.
If the safety lever is not in the "locked" position, the control levers may move, causing accidents or seri-
q
ous injury. Always make sure that the lever is in the "locked" position, as shown in the figure.
When shifting the safety lever, take care to avoid touching the equipment control levers.
q
This lever operates the safety device that locks the work equipment, the swing and travel functions and the attach-
ments. When pulled upwards, it is in "locked" position (L).
The safety device is hydraulic, therefore even if the control levers and the pedals move, the work equipment and
the machine cannot be operated.
NOTE
If the safety lever is not in position (L), the engine cannot be
q
started. Before operating the ignition switch, always make sure
that the safety lever is in the "locked" position. If the engine
stops while the safety lever is in "free" position (F), shift the le-
ver back to the "locked" position before operating the ignition
switch.
(F): free
(L): locked
