INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 19/20 - BACKHOE CONTROL LEVERS (version with servo controls) q operator must be seated in working position, that is, with the seat rotated by 180° with respect to the driving position and with fastened safety belt; before any manoeuvre, take all the precautions specified in section "3.13 USING THE MACHINE AS AN EXCAVATOR". q The machine is equipped with an acoustic alarm that is activated if the operator, with the engine running, moves the reverse gear lever (1) to position F or R with the seat rotated in any position different from the correct driving position.
This is a danger signal, since it is absolutely forbidden to move the machine while working with the backhoe equipment or in any case with the seat rotated by 180° with respect to the regular driving position. Remember that the operator is allowed to move the machine only while seated in the correct driving position, with locked seat and fastened safety belt. q Before leaving the driver’s seat, lower the equipment to the ground, engage the safety device to lock the controls and raise both joysticks towards the rear of the machine.
q Before starting work, check the control pattern by carrying out short manoeuvres in order to make sure the all the movements corresponds to those shown on the plates. q When travelling on roads, always engage the safety device (A) to lock the controls (LED on). The machine equipped with backhoe servo controls is particularly useful, in fact less effort is required to shift the controls and this reduces the stress to which the operator is subjected, as well as the time required to carry out the various operations. IMPORTANT q All movements are inhibited when the safety button (A) is in locking position (LED on) (see "3.3.2 pos. 12 - SERVO CONTROL LOCKING BUTTON"). 108 WARNING
