Komatsu — 3.2.3 CONTROL LEVERS AND PEDALS

DETAILED CONTROLS AND GAUGES 6. Travel Levers (with pedals) 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. Do not rest a foot on the pedal except when traveling or steering the machine, using the pedal. If the track frame is facing the rear, the direction of trav- el operations will be reversed. When operating the travel levers, check if the track frame is facing the front or the rear. (If sprocket (A) is at the rear, the track frame is facing the front.) Take good care when traveling or steering the machine, using the pedal.

When getting in or out of the operator's compartment, there is danger that your toes may catch on the travel pedal, so always fold back the pedal so that it cannot be operated. This lever (6) is used to change the direction of travel. ( ): This indicates operation of the pedal. (a) FORWARD: This 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 When operating the pedal, first sit in the operator's seat, then fold out the pedal. After finishing pedal operations, fold back the pedal while still seated in the operator's seat.

NOTE If the lever is shifted to the advance or reverse position from the neutral position, the alarm sounds to warm that the ma- chine is starting to advance. 71 WARNING
