CYLINDER AS 5G5547 - Caterpillar

Operating The Machine
Check for adequate clearance around the machine.
Adjust the operator seat.
Adjust the mirrors.
Adjust the steering column.
Fasten the seat belt.
Depress the service brake control in order to prevent the machine from moving.
Release the parking brake.
For operator comfort and maximum service life of power train components, deceleration and/or braking is recommended before any directional shifts are made.
Move the transmission control to the desired direction and the appropriate gear speed.
Release the service brake control.
Depress the accelerator control until the desired engine speed is achieved.
Drive the machine forward in order to have the best visibility and the best control.Loading
Take care when driving into the loading area. Maintain a safe distance from other machines.
Position the machine in the loading area.
The operator of the machine should stay in the cab while the machine is being loaded.
Stop the machine with the service brake control and move the parking and secondary brake control to the ENGAGED position.
Move the transmission control to the N position.
Ensure that the hoist control is in the FLOAT position.
Load the machine.
When the machine is loaded, move the transmission control to the 1 position. Move the parking and secondary brake control to the DISENGAGED position. Drive the machine slowly away from the loading area.
Leave the loading area with care.Dumping
Clear the area of personnel and obstructions before dumping. If a spotter is present, follow the spotters directions.
Position the machine straight ahead before dumping. Ensure that all the wheels are in contact with firm ground.
Stop the machine with the service brake control. Move the parking brake control to the ENGAGED position.
Move the transmission control to the N position.
The machine must be stationary with the parking brake control in the ENGAGED position. The transmission control must be in the N position before the body is raised. Move the hoist control to the RAISE position and increase the engine speed.
As the hoist cylinders approach full extension, reduce engine speed. Reduce hand pressure on the hoist control in order to slow the movement of the body. This slower movement will avoid damage to the hoist cylinders.
Dump the load. Move the transmission control to the 1 position and move the parking brake control to the DISENGAGED position. Drive the machine slowly forward until the machine is clear of the load.
Stop the machine with the service brake control. Move the parking brake control to the ENGAGED position.
Move the transmission control to the N position.
Move the hoist control to the LOWER position and increase the engine speed.
Hold the hoist control until the body is about 600 mm (24 inch) from the frame. Release the hoist control and reduce the engine speed. The hoist control will move to the FLOAT position. The body will continue to lower under the effect of gravity until the body rests on the rear frame.
Move the transmission control to the D position. Move the parking brake control to the DISENGAGED position and drive the machine to the new location. Note: When a machine is equipped with a tailgate, the capacity of the body is increased and
