INTRODUCTION PERMITTED USES The machines described in this manual are designed to operate mainly as «EXCAVATORS AND LOADERS». If equipped with appropriate safety systems, or if they have the characteristics described in section «31. AUTHORISED EQUIPMENT», these machines may be used with authorised optional equipment. MAIN FEATURES - Simple to use. - Hydrostatic transmission via two variable displacement hydraulic motors driving epicyclic final drives with pressure release hydraulic brakes. - Revolving frame swing powered by axial piston hydraulic motor driving an epicyclic gear- box. - Grease bath lubricated fifth wheel pinion gear.
- Main equipment controlled by two servo-assisted levers permitting combined, proportio- nally and continuously modulable movement. - Boom rotation and machine movement controlled by two servo?assisted pedals permit- ting combined, proportionally and continuously modulable movement. - Speed control pedal. - Servo-assisted controls for boom arm and blade. - Complete instrumentation arranged for easy viewing from driving seat. - Lever type accelerator control. - Maintenance arranged at convenient intervals. RUNNING IN THE MACHINE All FKI machines are rigorously tested and inspected before delivery.
New machines should nevertheless be used with care during the first 100 hours to allow components to run in gradually. By subjecting a brand new machine to excessive loads, you can quickly reduce its potential efficiency. Use your new machine with care, and pay particular attention to the following points: When you start the engine, leave it idle for at least 5 minutes to allow it to warm up gradually before subjecting it to working loads. Avoid operating at maximum load or at high speed. 0-5
