Equipment Lowering with Engine Stopped
SMCS - 6700; 7000
Personal injury or death can result from a work tool falling.
Keep personnel away from the front of the machine when
lowering the work tool.
Before lowering any equipment with the engine stopped, clear the area around the equipment of all
personnel. The procedure will vary with the type of equipment that is lowered. Keep in mind that most
systems use a high pressure fluid or air in order to raise or lower the equipment. The procedure will cause
high pressure air, hydraulic fluid, or some other media to be released in order to lower the equipment.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Use the first procedure if the accumulator is charged. The
second procedure and the third procedure are used if the accumulator is not charged.
Lowering the Equipment with the Accumulator Charged
If electrical power is available and the accumulator is charged, the loader arms can be lowered from the
operator station with the work tool control.
1. Fasten the seat belt. Lower the armrest.
2. Turn the engine start switch key to the ON position.
3. Push the parking brake switch.
4. Slowly move the work tool control to the LOWER position in order to slowly lower the loader arms.
If the loader arms do not lower, the accumulator is not charged. It is possible to recharge the accumulator
by cranking the engine for a period of fifteen seconds. Repeat step 3 and 4.
If there is no electrical power the loader arms must be lowered by using the procedure that is explained
next.
