A Warning Category 1 requires only operator awareness. When a Warning Category 1 occurs, the monitoring system causes an alert indicator to turn on.A Warning Category 2 needs operator response. When a Warning Category 2 occurs, the monitoring system causes one or more indicators to turn on. A Warning Category 2 also causes master action light (3) to flash.Note: Do NOT operate the machine until the cause of the warning has been corrected.A Warning Category 3 requires immediate shutdown of the machine systems. When a Warning Category 3 occurs, the monitoring system causes one or more alert indicators to turn on. The monitoring system also causes master action light (1) to flash. The action alarm also sounds.When a Warning Category 3 occurs during machine operation, stop the machine immediately and engage the parking brake. Stop the engine. Investigate the cause of the warning before returning the machine to service.For the steering system, a Warning Category 3 occurs when there is a loss of primary steering oil pressure in the system. This causes primary steering indicator (1) to turn on. The monitoring system also causes master action light (3) to flash. The action alarm also sounds.Note: If a machine is equipped with secondary steering, and the electric secondary steering pump is activated or disabled, a Warning Category 3 occurs.
