Operation on Inclines
ASV Rubber Track Loaders are very sta-
ble on inclines. Machine weight is distrib-
uted evenly throughout the chassis and
the suspended undercarriage track sys-
tem provides excellent traction and
floatation on nearly all surfaces.
Even with these capabilities, caution
should always be exercised while oper-
ating the machine on an incline. Never
operate the PT-50/60 on an incline in
excess of 15°. Do not make sudden
changes in direction, move slowly, and
always carry loads low to maximize
machine stability.
When turning on an incline, back down
the hill while slowly turning until the
machine is pointed in the desired direc-
tion. Then proceed forward.
Manual Quick-Attach (PT-50/60)
Fastening Attachments
With both levers on the quick-attach
interface in the “up” position, drive
towards the attachment with the top
edge of the quick-attach tipped forward
(photo C). Hook the top edge of the
quick attach under the upper lip of the
attachment interface. Raise the lift arms
up slightly and then curl the quick-attach
until it is fully mated with the attachment.
Turn the engine off and exit the machine.
Secure the attachment by pushing the
levers downward (photo D).
To confirm engagement:
1.
Raise the lift arms slightly.
2.
Tilt the attachment downward.
3.
Visually verify that the locking pins
can be seen through the bottom of
the mating interface.
Carry load low. Do not exceed rated oper-
ating capacity. Load, unload, turn on level
ground. Travel up and down hill with heavi-
est end of machine uphill. Failure to follow
instructions or heed warnings could result
in machine damage, injury or even death.
