EXPLANATION OF COMPONENTS OPERATION DECELERATION PEDAL G Do not place your foot on this pedal unnecessarily. G When passing over the top of a hill or when a load is dumped over a cliff, the load is suddenly reduced, so there is danger that the travel speed will also increase suddenly. To prevent this, depress the decelerator pedal to reduce the travel speed. This pedal(4) is used to lower the engine speed or stop the engine. Depress this pedal to reduce the speed when shifting between forward and reverse or when stopping the machine. BRAKE LOCK LEVER G When the machine is parked, always set the brake lock lever to the LOCK position.
G If the brake lock lever is operated, the brake operates even while the machine is traveling. Do not operate the brake lever while the machine is traveling since it stops the machine suddenly, but oper- ate it only in an emergency. This lever(5) is used to apply the parking brake. REMARK G When the steering, directional and gear shift lever is at the FORWARD or REVERSE position, if the brake lock lever is operated to the LOCK position, the steering, directional and gear shift lever will automatically return to the N (neu- tral) position. G If the brake lock lever is not at the LOCK position, the limit switch works and the engine does not start. 3-18 WARNING WARNING
