OPERATION
When approaching a dump truck during loading oper-
ation, set the transmission cut-off (transmission in
NEUTRAL) position of the brake pedal to a higher po-
sition. In this setting, the fine control of the brake is
only required just in front of the dump truck, so you
can control and stop the machine easily and softly.
Turn the switch to ON position during operation.
In the downhill travel, however, turn OFF the transmission cut-off function and use engine braking.
The brake pedals installed on the right and left sides of the steering post provide the same function.
