NAME AND FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS
NAMES OF COMPONENTS
• Throttle lever .............................................This lever increases and decreases the engine speed.
• Side clutch lever ........................................This lever is used to change the direction. The machine turns to adirection to which the lever is pulled. Also, when the right and leftside clutch levers are pulled at the same time, the machine makes asudden stop at once.
• Travelling clutch lever ...............................This lever connects and disconnects motive power from the engineto the transmission. When the lever is tilted forward, a state of"travelling" is created. When it is tilted backward, a state of "stop-ping" is created.
• Parking brake lever ....................................This lever makes the machine parked securely. When the lever istilted forward, a state of "OFF (brake released)" is created. Whenit is tilted backward, a state of "ON (brake operated)" is created.
• Deadman's clutch pedal .............................This pedal connects and disconnects motive power from the engineto the transmission. When the pedal is pressed on, a state of "trav-elling" is created. When it is released, a state of "stopping" is cre-ated. This pedal is connected with the travelling clutch.
• Speed change lever ....................................This lever is used to select the travelling speed. To change thespeed, set the travelling clutch lever at "STOP" position and thestate of the machine stopping, and then, change the speed.
• Horn switch ...............................................When the horn switch is pressed, the horn sounds. This switch isused to give a warning when driving or give a signal for work, etc.
• Dump lever ................................................This lever is used to "raise" and "lower" the load-carrying deckbody.

•When the engine cannot be started with the self-starter (e.g. , the battery being dead), turn the keyswitch to the "Operation (ON)" position, and then, start the engine by using the starter knob.
•During the first one week (about 40 to 50 hours) after purchase, as a running-in period, perform operation moderately in such a way that excessiveload is not applied.
When the engine is turning, never turn the key switch to the "Start" position. If done, it may causethe self-starting motor to be damaged.
When starting the engine by using the starter knob:7. Grip the starter knob and pull it with vigor.
8. When the engine is started, return the starter knob slowly to the original position while holding it.
7. Insert the engine key and turn it to the "Start" position.
8. Move the throttle lever to the "Low speed" postion.

DANGER
When speed changing (changing of gears) is doneincompletely, there could be a possibility of themachine being out of gear, thus creating a very dan-gerous condition. When it is difficult to engage thegears, do not do it forcibly. Instead, press on thedeadman's clutch pedal a little, and then, engage thegears properly.
N O T E
If the deadman's clutch pedal is pressedon quickly, the engine may stop.
(When changing the speed)
CAUTION
Speed changing cannot be done while travelling.Before speed changing is done, be sure to stop themachine completely.

6OPERATION
When making a turn to the left:7. Gradually pull the left side clutch lever toward this side.
The turn radius can be changed arbitrarily according to theforce (amount) to pull the slide clutch lever. When the sideclutch lever is pulled lightly, a gentle turn is made. When itis pulled strongly, a quick turn is made.
When making a turn to the right:7. Gradually pull the right side clutch lever toward this side.
The turn radius can be changed arbitrarily according to theforce (amount) to pull the slide clutch lever. When the sideclutch lever is pulled lightly, a gentle turn is made. When itis pulled strongly, a quick turn is made.
(When making a turn)
Side clutch lever (Left)
Side clutch lever (Right)
When the right and left side clutch levers areoperated at the same time, the machine makesa sudden stop. Therefore, do not operate them at the sametime except in case of an emergency.
Quick turns are dangerous because they couldcause the operator to be thrown out of themachine or cause the machine to turn over.
DANGER
CAUTION
OPERATION
4. Turn the engine key switch to the "Stop (OFF)"position to stop the engine.
5. Pull out the key.
If the key switch is left in the "ON" position, a current continues to flow from the battery toeach circuit, causing the battery to go dead.
If the key switch is left in the "ON" position, a current continues to flow from the battery to each circuit, causing the battery to go dead.
6. Close the fuel cock.
66.4 STOPPING PROCEDURE
1. Set the throttle lever at the "Low speed" positionto decelerate speed of the machine.
2. Move the foot off the deadman's clutch pedal toreturn it to the original position.
3. Set the parking brake lever at the "ON" position.
In case of an emergency, pull the travellin gclutchlever and parking brake lever toward this side atthe same time, or pull both the right and left sideclutch levers toward this side at the same time. The machine will make a sudden stop. For inform- taion, the machine may rise on slopes, and there-fore, take great care.

safety of the surrounding area.
Dump operation on steep slopes is very dangerousbecause it makes the machine unstable. When dumpoperation is unavoidably performed on a downhill road, use the machine by putting a forest tree, etc. on thetravelling section to make the machine horizontal.
When the load-carrying deck body is lowered in theloaded condition, lower it slowly with the engine speeddecreased in order not to apply shocks to the machine.
6.5.1 Deck Lifting/Lowering
• Dump operation should be carried out with theengine started without fail.
• The load-carrying deck body goes up or down asshown in the figure.
(When lifting the load-carrying deck body)1. Release the lock plate for the dump lever.
2. Tilt the dump lever to the "Up" position.
3. When the load-carrying deck body goes up to the upperlimit, a relief sound (whizzing sound) is made. Therefore, return the dump lever to the neutral positionquickly.
(When lowering the load-carrying deck body whichhas been lifted)
1. Release the lock plate for the dump lever.
2. Tilt the dump lever to the "Down" position.
3. When the load-carrying deck body goes down to the lowerlimit, return the dump lever to the neutral position quickly.

7.9 AFTER-USE MAINTENANCE
(Normal use)
• Remove all dirt, water and foreign objects fromthe body. Do not use water to wash the engine andoperation panel. Water will damage parts andcause rust built up.
• When the vehicle is left outdoors, it is effective toput a waterproof cover, etc. on it.
(In cold season)
• Remove all dirt, water and foreign objects fromthe body. Any remaining dirt will freeze and cause malfunctions. Place the vehicle on a concrete floor,dry firm ground or wooden blocks.

When loading and unloading the machine onto or from truck, follow the procedures below.
1. Prepare running boards with enough strength (durable to hold both machine and driver's weight), width (morethan 1.2 times as wide as the crawler), length (more than three times as long as the height), and abrasive sur-face. Place the boards as shown below so that the boards firmly keep their positions even when the machinerides on them.
2. Securely hook the running boards to truck so that there is no difference in height between the boards and thetruck's load-deck.
3. During loading and unloading, the operator should get off this machine and perform the operation.
• Do not allow any one to come near the machine, truck, and
running board while loading or unloading the machine.
• Do not turn on the running boards. The machine may drop
off the running boards.
• When going up the running board, travel slowly in first gear,
forward. When going down the running board, travel slowly in
first gear, backward.
DANGER
When the machine is loading on the place between the truck
and the running board, beware of the machine's center of gravi-
ty because it may move suddenly.
CAUTION
MORE THAN 3 TIMES AS LONG AS HEIGHT
