Emergency stop functions
In case of emergency, you can switch off the engine and lower the boom manually.
Manual engine stop
If the engine cannot be stopped with the key, it can be stopped
manually.
•
Open the engine compartment cover (page 82).
•
To stop the engine, push lever (1) to the left until the engine
stops.
The excavator may only be taken back into opera-
tion after the malfunction has been eliminated.
Manual lowering of the front attachments
The boom and arm can be lowered in case of an engine failure or if malfunctions occur in the hydraulic system.
•
The starter switch is in the RUN position.
•
If necessary, lower the boom and the arm with the control lever as described in the "Operating the controls
during excavation work" section (page 62).
Make sure nobody is standing in the lowering area before starting the emergency lowering pro-
cedure.
The lowering function is available only for a short time, as it is controlled by the accumulator in
the hydraulic system. The cylinders extend or retract by force of gravity.
Filling up the washer system
•
Open the washer system reservoir and add water or a cleaning agent.
In winter, use a cleaning agent with antifreeze.
