MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS

MACHINE OPERATION

Before operating the travel levers or travel pedals, check the direction of the track frame. If the track frame is facing the rear
(if the sprocket is at the front), the machine moves in the opposite direction from the operation of the travel levers or travel
pedals (front and rear travel is reversed, left and right steering is reversed).
Before starting the machine off, check that the area around the machine is safe, and sound the horn.
Do not allow anyone to enter the area around the machine.
Clear any obstacles from the travel path.
There is a blind spot at the rear of the machine, so be particularly careful when traveling in reverse.
If the travel levers or travel pedals is operated when the auto deceleration is being actuated, the engine speed will suddenly
rise, so be careful when operating.
When traveling, check that the alarm sounds normally.
