CONTROL AND FUNCTIONS
COMPARTMENT DOOR
The compartment door must be closed and locked after entering the compartment before
the park brake button can be released and the declutch valve be deactivated.
Never use the door to apply the park brake. Always manually apply by
pressing the park brake button and ensure the brake head pressure
gauge reads zero. The steering pressure will automatically bleed
down, never assume the steering pressure has bled down unless the
steering pressure gauge reads zero.
On both opening the operator’s door and manual operation of the park
brake valve, the steering pressure will automatically begin to bleed
down upon engine shutdown, never assume the steering pressure has
bled down unless the steering pressure gauge reads zero.
When the door is open the machine cannot be operated, as the park
brake will be on and the transmission will be declutched. There is a
roller cam valve in the door lock that needs to be activated to release
the park brake. Also the brake system pressure is dumped with the
door open. The engine will run with the door open.

Operation Manual
PNEUMATIC ISOLATION
To isolate the pneumatic system perform the following procedure:
1. Ensure the area is clear of any obstructions and area is fit for carrying out safe
operation and maintenance.
2. Lower the lift arms or any attachment to the ground, shutdown the engine, fit a
danger tag to the on/off toggle switch, connect the articulation lock and chock the
wheels.
3. Locate the main air isolation valve at the driver’s side rear of the engine compartment
and rotate to the off position and install a personal danger tag. This valve provides for
personal isolation locks to be fitted.
4. Check the system for dead by observing the air pressure gauge reads zero when the
on/off toggle switch is in the on position.
If work is required on the air receiver it will be necessary to remove air
pressure from the air receiver by actuating the main air drain valve
located next to the fill point. Stored air pressure will be safely released
to the atmosphere. Ensure that the three-way ball valve is not
connected to an external pressure source.
Compressed air can be hazardous. Wear suitable protective
equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection.

Operation Manual
Check the engine oil level:
1. Stop the engine and allow the oil time to settle before checking via the dipstick.
2. If required the engine should be filled to the full mark on the engine dipstick. The oil
fill plug is a screw type fitted to the rocker cover of the engine.
3. Ensure the correct engine oil is used. Oil specifications are listed in Section 23 - Fluid
Specifications Table.
4. Do not over fill.
Always ensure the machine is correctly isolated before undertaking
any tasks.
Always use the specified lubricant for the application and the region’s
seasonal temperatures. (See Section 23).
The oil level should only be checked with the engine stopped, the
engine should be allowed to sit for five minutes before checking.
