in injury or death.

WARNING

Use the frame sway control to level the machine only when the boom angle indicator is at 0 degrees or less. Using the frame sway control when the angle indicator is more than 0 degrees

may cause the machine to overturn, resulting in injury or death.

The frame sway control (C) is located on the dash panel. The frame sway control is used in conjunction with the machine level indicator (D) located in the center of the cross support that the interior rear view mirror is mounted on. The sway control switch is either toggled to the left or right depending on the particular requirement.
