INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 12 - SERVO CONTROL LOCKING BUTTON q When travelling on roads, always engage the servo control locking device. This button has the function to inhibit the servo controls and must be used when the machine travels on roads and as safety lock when leaving the driver’s seat or parking the machine. To lock the servo controls, press the button (12) (LED on). Press the button again (LED off) to release the controls. NOTE q Whenever the machine is started, the controls are locked automatically (LED on); press the button (LED off) to use the controls.
q For safety reasons, the servo controls are locked automatically (LED on) when the seat is rotated by the operator to change driving position. The servo controls are automatically released (LED off) when the rotation has been completed and the seat is fixed in the correct driving position (front or rear). q In the version with backhoe servo controls, this button serves to lock the backhoe controls, too. 13 - BACKHOE SPEED CONTROL BUTTON This button allows the quantity of oil delivered by the hydraulic pump to be selected. Whenever restarted, the machine automatically selects the POWER mode (LED on), even if when it stopped the selected mode was ECONOMY.
This position makes it possible to use the maximum oil delivery and is indispensable for a correct use of the backhoe. When the button is pressed (LED off), the ECONOMY operating mode is selected. To return to the POWER mode (LED on), press the button again. The machine passes automatically from POWER to ECONOMY mode when the forward or the reverse gear are engaged (reverse gear lever forward or backward). To return to the POWER mode, shift the lever back to the neutral position.
14 - BACKHOE SLIDING LOCK SWITCH This switch has the function to release the backhoe unit from the sliding guides, in such a way as to make it possible to change the position of the backhoe with respect to the machine. The backhoe unit is generally fixed on the guides and the switch is not operated (LED off). When pressed, the switch comes on and releases the unit from the guides, thus allowing the backhoe to slide; once the desired position has been reached, press the switch again to fix the backhoe unit (LED off). 80 WARNING
