Pilot Control Shut-Off Lever - Hitachi ZX27U-2 Operator's Manual

PILOT CONTROL SHUT-OFF LEVER

The pilot control shut-off lever is a device to prevent the
machine from being unexpectedly operated even if the
control levers are accidentally moved, such as with a part
of the body or when the operator is getting in or out of the
operator's station.
Pilot control shut-off lever (1) is linked to console (2) latch
mechanism so that console (2) is raised in the LOCK posi-
tion to aid in entering and exiting the operator's station and
for maintenance.
WARNING:
•
To deactivate control lever and pedal functions,
be sure to pull pilot control shut-off lever (1)
and raise console (2) to the fully locked posi-
tion. To reactivate control lever (3) function,
always hold and push pilot control shut-off
lever (1) down. Never attempt to lower raised
console (2) or control levers (3) to reactivate
control lever (3) function without holding pilot
control shut-off lever (1).
•
Always stop the engine and pull pilot control
shut-off lever (1) to the full LOCK position be-
fore exiting the operator's station, even when
exiting temporarily.

Be sure to move the pilot control shut-off lever
to the LOCK position before exiting the ma-
chine after each shift.
Pilot Control Shut-off Lever Operation

Before Starting Operation:
WARNING: Never attempt to lower the raised
console (to reactivate the pilot control shut-off

lever (3) and/or console (2). Always lower the
console using pilot control shut-off lever (1).
Be sure to hold pilot control shut-off lever (1) in LOCK
(raised) position when starting the engine.
Slowly lower pilot control shut-off lever (1) to UNLOCK

After moving the pilot control shut-off lever to the

control shut-off lever (1) to the UNLOCK position with all
control levers and pedals in neutral, the machine may be
experiencing trouble. Immediately return pilot control
