OPERATION @ Forward: Push the lever forward, the machine will move forward. OR everse: Pull the lever rearward, the machine will move in reverse. N Neutral: Lever centered. REMARK The lever is mechanically detented in the speed range and will stay in place until released by hand. The lever is hydraulically detented in the directional range only when the safety lock lever is in the up position (released) and will stay in place until released by hand. REMARK When the shift lever is placed in one of the reverse positions, the back up alarm will automatically sound. 6+ -7 m 2.
The lever also steers the machine by controlling power to one track and hydraulically applying the brake on the other side. @ Left turn: Turns the machine to the left, release the lever to apply power to both tracks. 0 Right turn: Turns the machine to the right, release the lever to apply power to both tracks. REMARK The farther the lever is moved in that direction, the sharper the turn. 11.5.3 SAFETY LOCK LEVER A WARNING When leaving the operators compartment, position the lever securely to the LOCK position. If the lever is not locked and is touched by mistake, this may lead to a serious accident. If the lever is not placed securely in LOCK position, the lever may not be properly locked.
This lever locks the drive train. Pull up 0 to release the lever. Push down 0 to apply the lever. REMARK The lever must be in the LOCK (down) position to start engine. 11.54 LEFT PEDAL SECONDARY BRAKE The left brake pedal applies the machine brake without decelerating the engine. This pedal actuates a brake valve mounted behind the dash. With the engine running and the pedal in the up position, pressure is directed to a spring extended cylinder mounted in the rear main fame. The pressure retracts the cylinder and releases the brakes. When the pedal is depressed, pressure is decreased in relation to pedal position.
The decrease in pressure allows the cylinder to apply a force to the brake equalizer bar which applies the brakes. When the engine is shut down or if hydraulic transmission failure occurs, the brake will fully apply after the pedal is depressed. Once the brake pressure has been dumped the brake will stay applied until the engine is started. If the engine is not runnable a remote source of pressure must be applied to the tow port to release the brakes. See 16.4 METHODS OF TOWING MACHINE on page 2-64. 2-16
