Komatsu — Parking Brake Switch

OM3212 08/11 Operator Cab and Controls - Section 32 Page 32-9 Control Switches Control switches (3, 4, 6, & 7, Figure 32-4) are simple rocker type switches which turn functions on and off. Hoist Control Lever Hoist control lever (5, Figure 32-4) is a four-function, three-position, hand-operated lever located between the operator seat and the center console. ON The ON and OFF positions are marked with these symbols. Refer to Operating Instructions - Dumping, for more complete details concerning this control. OFF Parking Brake Switch When parking brake switch (6, Figure 32-4) is in the ON position, the parking brake is applied.

Shift Limiter Switch When this switch is in the OFF posi- tion, the parking brake is released. Shift limiter switch (3, Figure 32-4) is used to limit the highest speed range when the transmission shift lever is in either the D or L range. The parking brake is spring applied and hydraulically released. It will hold a stationary truck when the engine is stopped and the keyswitch is in the OFF position. DO NOT apply the parking brake while the truck is in motion. Damage to parking brake compo- nents will occur. When the keyswitch is ON and the parking brake is applied, an indicator light in the LH panel pod will illu- minate.

F1 Start Switch F1 start switch (4, Figure 32-4) is used to ensure that the transmission starts in F1 when the transmission range selec- tor is in D. When this switch is ON and the transmission range selector is in the D position, the transmission will shift to F1 to start. When this switch is OFF and the range selector is in the D position, the transmission will start in sec- ond gear. Refer to Transmission Range Selector, D - DRIVE. All other forward gear ranges (L, F2, F3, F4, F5) start out in F1 regardless of the F1 start switch position. Shift Limiter Range Range(s) Attainable ON D Range - F2-F6 L Range - F1 OFF D Range - F2-F7 L Range - F1-F2
