OPERATION 14. ROOM LAMP SWITCH REMARKS: The room lamp can light even if the main switch is OFF. To avoid draining the vehicle battery, turn the switch to position 1 or OFF before leaving the operator's compartment. When operating with the cab door fully open, set the switch to position 1 (OFF). Position 1: OFF, lights are off. Position 2: Lights when door is opened. Position 3: ON, lights remain on. 15. PARKING BRAKE SWITCH WARNING Always apply the parking brake when leaving the machine or parking it. Even if the parking brake switch is turned ON, for safety precaution keep the brake pedal depressed until the parking brake pilot lamp lights up. This switch operates the parking brake.
(1) ON position: The parking brake is applied, and the parking brake pilot lamp lights up. (2) OFF position: The parking brake is released. REMARKS: If the directional lever is placed in F (FORWARD) or R (REVERSE) with the parking brake applied, the warning lamp will flash and the alarm buzzer will sound. When the starting switch is turned to OFF, the parking brake is automatically applied. Before starting the engine, turn the parking brake switch to ON, then turn it to OFF. The machine does not start when the directional lever is operated with the parking brake applied. NOTE: Never use the parking brake switch to apply the brakes when traveling, except in an emergency.
Apply the parking brake only after the machine has stopped. If the parking brake has been used as an emergency brake when traveling at high speed (near the maximum speed), contact your distributor to have the parking brake checked for any abnormality. 2-19 WA320-3MC
