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.
d
WARNING: Always pull pilot control shut-off lever
(1) into the full LOCK position. Unless pilot control
shut-off lever (1) is fully moved to the LOCK position,
the front control lever is not locked, possibly creating
a hazardous situation. When leaving the machine,
always stop the engine. Then, pull pilot control shut-
off lever (1) up to the LOCK position. Always check to
be sure that pilot control shut-off lever (1) is pulled up
to the LOCK position before transporting the machine
or leaving the machine at the end of the shift.
Before Leaving the Machine
1. Park the machine on a firm, level surface. Lower the
bucket to the ground. Return all control levers to neutral.
Properly shut down the engine.
2. Pull pilot control shut-off lever (1) up into the full LOCK
position.
Before Starting Operation:
Confirm that pilot control shut-off lever (1) is pulled up to
the LOCK position before starting the engine. The engine
will not start in other than the LOCK position.
Slowly push down pilot control shut-off lever (1) to UNLOCK
position before starting operation.
Confirm that all control levers and pedals are in neutral and
that no part of the machine is in motion.
d
WARNING: If any part of the machine (any actuator)
moves when pilot control shut-off lever (1) is
lowered to the UNLOCK position despite the fact
that all controls are placed in neutral, the machine is
malfunctioning. Immediately pull pilot control shut-
off lever (1) back to the LOCK position, and stop the
engine. Then, see your authorized dealer.
