OPERATION EXPLANATION OF COMPONENTS TRAVEL LEVERS WARNING Do not put your foot on the pedal unless the machine is traveling. If you leave your foot on the pedal and press it by mistake, the machine will move suddenly, and this may lead to a serious accident. With the track frame facing to the rear, the machine will move in the reverse direction by forward traveling and in the forward direction by reverse traveling. When the travel lever is used, check to see if the track frame is facing forward or backward. (If the sprocket is located to the rear, the track frame is facing for- ward.) Be extremely careful when using the pedal for opera- tions and travel.
Thislever (2) is used to switch the direction of travel of the machine. ( ) shows the operation of the pedal. (a) FORWARD: The lever is pushed forward (The pedal is angled forward) (b) REVERSE: The lever is pulled back (The pedal is angled back) N (Neutral): The machine stops ( ): This indicates operation of the pedal. REMARK Machines equipped with travel alarm (If equipped) If the lever is shifted to the advance or reverse position from the neutral position, the alarm sounds to warnthat the machine is starting to advance. The travel lever can use the auto-deceleration mechanism to change the engine speed as follows.
When the travel lever and work equipment control levers are at the neutral position, even if the fuel control dial is above midrange speed, the engine speed will go down to a midrange speed. If one of these levers is oper- ated, the engine speed will rise to the speed set by the fuel control dial. If all the control levers are at the neutral position, the engine speed goes down approx. 100 rpm, then after approx. 4 seconds, the engine speed goes down to the deceleration speed (approx. 1400 rpm). 3-23
