1 General information 1.8.10 Other signs The plate on the right (fig. 12-a) indicates that it is necessary to read the documentation before any intervention, to avoid technical problems (e.g. Manual attached to the engine). The plate on the right (fig. 12-b) indicates that you should read the use and maintenance man- ual before using the devices near this label, to avoid problems.
1 General information 1.10 H YDRAULIC OUTLETS Plate that shows how to use the hydraulic outlets and how they are connected to the control levers on the dashboard. The number of levers may vary depending on the version (Spec 0; Spec 1; Spec 2; Spec 3;), therefore your vehicle may be different from the one shown in the fig- ure.
Command LECTRICAL START Put the battery cut-off device in position "2" (see fig. 11). fig. 6 – start-up Turn the key to position “1” (stable) to turn on the panel and thus the ana- logue-digital dashboard. Turn the key to position (unstable) to activate the pre-heating unit.
Command RAKE AND CCELERATOR CONTROL WARNING: The activation of the brake may be delayed by max. 10 seconds after pressing the key shown above. fig. 12 – Parking brake (top) - Accelerator (bottom) WARNING: Whenever the operator turns off the engine and/or moves away from the minidumper he/she must insert the parking brake;...
Command UICK ATTACH AND RELEASE SYSTEM fig. 14 – Representation of the quick attach and release system of the tools WARNING: When the "quick attach" system is used, make sure that the vehi- cle is on a flat, clean and stable surface and that there is not dirt that may prevent the mechanism from working perfectly;...

fig. 14 b – quick attach couplings WARNING: The coupling may be hard to make; clean the area thoroughly, unload the levers as shown above and try again (see fig. 14 b)
Instructions for use NSTRUCTIONS FOR USE IRST READ CAREFULLY: before using the vehicle you must read all of the instructions in this manual and the use and maintenance manual of the engine installed on your vehicle scrupulously. Furthermore, always keep it attached to the vehicle. fig.
Instructions for use READ CAREFULLY: Read the use and maintenance manual of the engine in- stalled on your vehicle carefully and follow the instructions prescribed for its own breaking-in period. After the first 20 hours of operation, check the level of the hydraulic oil. ...
Instructions for use Unscrew the plug slowly. Pour the fuel into the tank slowly. Close the plug again tightly. Immediately dry any fuel leakage. Do not refuel when the vehicle is hot. WARNING: Do not refuel when the vehicle is hot, wait 2 hours after turning off the engine before refuelling.
Instructions for use this may also cause it to shut down. In this case, slowly release the drive com- mand lever, adjusting the speed to a level that does not cause an overload of the propeller. Since the vehicle is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission, it is not necessary for the ro- tations of the engine to be at maximum for movements.
Instructions for use Forward Gear 3.5.2 To allow the vehicle to move forwards both drive levers must be activated simul- taneously by pushing them forward. (see pag.18). Avoid going downhill in forward gear, refer to the paragraph: “Travelling on slopes”. 3.5.3 Reverse Gear To allow the vehicle to reverse you must activate both drive levers, pulling them...
Instructions for use because, otherwise, cavitation problems may occur and the "engine-brake" effect would be missing (hydraulic engines are driven by the slope and they work as a pump): if the vehicle increases its speed "alone", release the drive levers. DANGER: Do not use the vehicle on a slope with an irregular surface.
Instructions for use Steering is determined by the slowing of the speed of one track with respect to the other. Consequently, the speed and the degree of steering are proportional to the intensity of the release and of the pressure you apply to each lever. Movement during operation 3.5.1 During operation the vehicle may be subject to a drop in the number of rotations...
Instructions for use The example in (fig. 18 b), shows how the engine loses speed when the bucket is operating; the opera- tor maintains the rpm at max-80 by means of the potentiometer (figure 18 c). By using this com- mand, it is possible to operate with an engine speed that is suita- ble for the load.
Instructions for use To make a counter-clockwise counter-rotation (in the oppo- site direction of the hands of a clock) you must push the right- hand lever forward and pull the left-hand lever back. fig. 20 – Counterclockwise counter-rotation Using the counter-rotation manoeuvre often reduces the duration of the rubber tracks, especially if you do it on rough surfaces.
Instructions for use To disconnect, start with the nega- To connect, start with the posi- tive pole (1) tive pole (1) 3.6.2 Connection of the start-up cables 1.
