Pilot Control Shut-Off Lever - Hitachi EX27U 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 if the control
levers are accidentally moved when the operator is getting
in or out of the operator's station.
However, this pilot control shut-off function does not apply
to the boom swing pedal, blade lever, and auxiliary pedal.
Take care not to come into contact with these controls
when getting in and out of the operator's station.
Pilot control shut-off lever (1) is linked to the console latch
mechanism so that the console is raised in the LOCK posi-
tion to aid in getting in and out of the operator's station and
maintenance.
CAUTION:
1. To deactivate control lever (3) function, be
sure to pull pilot control shut-off lever (1) and
raise console (2) to the fully locked position.
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). Failure to do so will damage
to console (2) and/or control levers (3).
2. Always stop the engine and pull pilot control
shut-off lever (1) to the full LOCK position
before leaving the operator's station, even
when leaving temporarily.
3. Be sure to pull pilot control shut-off lever (1)
to the full LOCK position before leaving the
