4. Machine Orientation, Controls and
Functions
4.2 Control Locations
4.2.10 Steering Wheel
The steering wheel controls the flow of hydraulic oil to the steering cylinder. As the cylinder strokes,
the vehicle articulates to the LEFT or to the RIGHT.
Turning the wheel ANTI-CLOCKWISE articulates the vehicle toward the operator. This effectively
turns the vehicle to the LEFT in the forward direction (tractor end).
Turning the wheel CLOCKWISE articulates the vehicle away from the operator. This effectively turns
the vehicle to the RIGHT in the forward direction (tractor end).
NOTE
The machine will turn in the opposite directions when travelling in forward and
reverse. Operator training and familiarity with coal hauler operation is important
to ensure that collisions are avoided.

NOTE
If the engine should stall, the machine is fitted with a system that will dump the
steering pressure in under 30 seconds. The operator can steer the machine via a
6 litre back up accumulator at any time following an engine stall to immediately
bring the vehicle to a safe controlled stop.
NOTE
If the door is opened or the park brake is applied, the machine is fitted with
failsafe steering system that will immediately dump the steering system
pressure. This is to protect the operator or personnel from being crushed in the
articulation area. Steering cannot be used until the door is shut and latched and
the park brake control reset to the OFF position.

5. Machine Isolation
5.2 Pneumatic Isolation
To isolate the pneumatic system perform the following procedure:
1. Shutdown the diesel engine, fit a danger tag to the ON/OFF toggle valve, connect the
articulation lock and chock the wheels.
2. Locate the isolating ball valve in front of operator above the eject control lever and rotate to
the OFF position.
3. Relieve air pressure in the system lines by successively switching the ON/OFF toggle valve in
the operator's compartment until the air pressure gauge on the dash board reads zero when
the toggle switch is in the ON position.
NOTE
If work is required on the air receiver it will be necessary to remove air pressure
from the receiver by actuating the drain valve located at the bottom of the air
receiver. 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.
WARNING
Compressed air can be hazardous. Wear suitable protective equipment such as

safety glasses and hearing protection.

9. Stopping the Engine
1. Park the machine in a suitably safe location.
2. Put the transmission directional control lever into the NEUTRAL position.
3. Remove any hydraulic load from the engine.
4. Apply the PARK BRAKE. Observe that the brake head pressure gauge is on ZERO.
5. Allow the engine to run at about idle speed for five minutes. This will allow internal
temperatures to reduce gradually. Reduce engine speed to low idle for 30 seconds.
NOTE
As the engine is turbocharged, shutting down the engine when the engine’s
operating temperature is high may cause damage to the turbo charge and the
lubrication system.
6. Turn the ON/OFF switch located on the instrument panel to the OFF position and the engine
will shutdown.
7. Open the door check floor hold on and step down using three points of contact at all times.
WARNING
Any problems with the normal engine shut off mechanism must be corrected
before the engine is restarted.

NOTE
If the engine fails to shutdown under the normal procedure the EMERGENCY
INTAKE SHUT OFF VALVE should be used.
8. CLOSE the air tank isolation valve on the air receiver after the engine has stopped.
WARNING
Ensure the trailer tailgate is closed before leaving the operator’s compartment.
WARNING
Ensure the machine is parked in an area that will not block traffic or in a blind
intersection that may result in a collision.
