INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
1 - REVERSING GEAR LEVER
DANGER
•
When it is necessary to park or leave the machine even if temporarily, shift the lever to position (N) and
always apply the parking brake.
•
The machine is equipped with an acoustic alarm that is activated if the operator, with the engine run-
ning, moves the reversing gear lever (1) to position F or R with the seat rotated in any position different
from the correct driving position.
This is a danger signal, since it is absolutely forbidden to carry out any movement with the machine
while working with the backhoe equipment or in any case with the seat rotated by 180° with respect to
the regular driving position. Remember that the operator must carry out any movement of the machine
while seated in the correct driving position, with locked seat and fastened safety belt.
•
Non-compliance with these rules may cause serious accidents.
IMPORTANT
☞
•
Operate the lever only when the engine is running at low speed.
•
The engine can be started only with the lever in neutral position (N).
•
If the operator deems it necessary, the machine may also be equipped with an acoustic alarm for move-
ments in reverse.
This device can be installed on an apposite area on the rear part of the frame (see 2.4.3 CHECKS FOR
TRAVELLING IN REVERSE) and before carrying out any movement in reverse it is recommended to
make sure that this device is functioning perfectly.
To check the functionality of this acoustic alarm, proceed as follows:
- Start the machine (see “3.6.2 STARTING THE ENGINE”)
- Press the brake pedals.
- Shift the reversing gear lever (1) to the reverse position R.
If the alarm doesn’t work, have the machine checked by your Komatsu Utility Dealer.
By raising this lever and rotating it on the vertical axis, it is possi-
ble to select:
F - the forward travel, if the lever is shifted FORWARD
R - the reverse, if the lever is shifted BACKWARD
