wise. This will ensure the valve is open and one
can continue using the hand pump to jack the
bin back over the bin pivot centre point. Once
over the pivot centre point the weight of the bin
will automatically start to take over and one can
stop using the hand pump. To stop the bin from
lowering again turn the valve clock wise until it
has bottomed out. The bin lowering speed can
be controlled using this bin lowering control
valve. Continue with step 8 until the bin has
been lowered to the full down position.
NOTE
One can only lower the bin and not lift
the bin via this procedure.

turn the emergency bin lowering valve clock
wise until it has bottomed out to ensure this
valve is closed.
10. Lock the valve with the lock nut.

lowering. Lift the cab and engage the cab tilt
lock. Disconnect the hand pump and replace
the plug in port B on the tip valve block. Lower
the cab and replace the cab bolts and fasten
them.

There is no self-centralising function on the machine
steering.
After turning the steering, the machine must be
straightened by turning the steering wheel to the
straight ahead position.
The machine's normal steering system is

Emergency Steering

If there is an engine or main pump failure, the ground
driven emergency steering system will enable the
operator to steer the machine to a safe stop.
In this event the machine must be stopped as
quickly as possible.
There is no self-centralising function on the steering.
The machine must be straightened by turning the
steering wheel to the straight ahead position.
If the engine fails the machine must be steered to
safety as soon as possible.
When the engine or main pump fails the emergency
steering pump will become active.
The machine's emergency steering system is
ground driven and will be operational until the
machine is stationary.
When the emergency steering system is activated
the emergency steering indicator on the centre
instrument panel will flash together with the main
warning light, and the buzzer will sound
intermittently.
Testing Emergency Steering
Software version 5.02 and higher makes provision
for an Emergency Steering test to be performed by
the operator in order to verify the functionality of the
emergency steering of the machine.
