OPERATION

Transporting & Lifting Machine:

Lift machine only from Lifting Point (O).

Always remove Blade (H) before lifting, loading, or trans- porting.

Use a proper lifting strap rated for at least the maximum mass of the machine. The nominal and maximum mass of the machine are shown in the TECHNICAL DATA sec- tion of this document.

Lifting machine equipped with Water Tank:

Before lifting a machine equipped with a water tank: 1. Empty water from tank.

2. Remove Blade.

3. Lower machine until frame is parallel to ground.

4.Pivot front of water tank upward until it rests against aluminum cowl top. Do not rest water tank cap against plastic cowl front - damage during lifting could occur.

5.Attach proper lifting strap to Lifting Point (O).

6.Test Lift machine at a low level (just a few centimeters) to verify tank remains secured to machine, and will not be damaged or cause damage.

7.If water tank equiped machine can not be lifted without damage to the machine or tank, remove water tank before lifting.

NOTICE

Water tank or saw could be damaged if saw is not lifted properly. Closely monitor for damage while lifting machine.

Parking Machine:

Machines used in some regions may require a Parking Brake. Parking Brake for this machine is applied using Transmission Engagment Lever (PP).

Parking brake is designed to hold machine in position on a slope of 10 degrees or less, with rear of machine on downhill side of slope (maximum weight on braked wheel).

Parking Brake - Engage (See Diagram):

1.Turn engine OFF (0).

2.Move Transmission Engagment Lever (PP) forward to “engaged” position.

Remove Blade (H) before lifting, loading, or transporting machine.
