OM3232 8/11 Operator Cab And Controls - Section 32 Page 32-5 CENTER CONSOLE When the key switch is ON, and the control lever is in PARK, parking brake indicator light (2, Figure 32-9) on the instrument panel will be illuminated. The directional control lever must be in PARK to start the engine. NOTE: Do not move the directional control lever to the PARK position at the shovel or dump site. The operator can select FORWARD drive by moving the lever to the F position. The operator can select REVERSE drive by moving the lever to the R position. Do not allow the control lever to travel too far and go into the PARK position when REVERSE is desired.
Any time the directional control lever is placed in the FORWARD or the REVERSE position, the engine speed will go to 1,600 rpm for 15 seconds in prepara- tion for truck movement. If the throttle pedal is not touched within 15 seconds, engine speed will return to 750 rpm. FIGURE 32-3. CENTER CONSOLE 1. Center Console 2. Directional Control Lever 3.

If the throttle pedal is not touched within 15 seconds, then engine rpm will return to 750 rpm. The operator can select TROLLEY by moving the lever to the T position. This position will prepare the truck for trolley operation. The pantograph switch on the dash panel is now active. When desired, the operator can raise the pantograph to receive electric- ity from the overhead wires. NOTE: The truck must be completely stopped before the control lever is moved to a drive position or into PARK.
A fault will be recorded if the control lever is placed into the PARK position while the truck is still moving. Directional Control Lever Directional control lever (2, Figure 32-3) is mounted on the console to the right of the operator's seat. It is a five position lever that controls the park, reverse, neutral and forward movement, and trolley operation of the truck. Before moving the directional control lever, apply the service brakes to completely stop the truck. Depress the button on the side to release the detent lock, then move the control lever to the desired position. When the control lever is in the center N position, it is in NEUTRAL.
When the control lever is in the P position, it is in PARK, and the parking brake will be applied. The parking brake is spring applied and hydraulically released. It is designed to hold the truck stationary when the engine is off and the key switch is turned OFF.
