Work Equipment Control Pedals (Loader Arm And Bucket) - Komatsu SK818-5 Operation & Maintenance Manual

HAND & FOOT CONTROL SYSTEM

6.5.1.2 WORK EQUIPMENT CONTROL PEDALS (LOADER ARM AND BUCKET)

Before carrying out any manoeuvre with the pedals, the operator must be seated in driving position with
q
fastened safety belt and lowered safety bars; before any manoeuvre it is important to take all the precau-
tions indicated in "3.13 USING THE WORK EQUIPMENT".
When travelling on roads, always inhibit the equipment control (see "3.3.5 pos. 8 - EQUIPMENT CON-
q
TROL LOCKING LEVER (IF INSTALLED)").
Before leaving the operator seat, stop the engine only after lowering the equipment to the ground and
q
locking the controls (safety bars lifted in vertical position).
Non-compliance with these rules may lead to serious accidents.
q
The self-leveling system is operated automatically only when the loader arm is lifted with full bucket.
q
When the arm is being lowered, the self-leveling system doesn't start.
At the maximum height, the self-leveling system keeps the bucket partially folded to prevent the material
q
from being spread out.
The control pedals (1) and (2) are positioned on the footboard
under the operator seat and control the movements of the
loader arm and the bucket.
