2. The uni-directional operation uses the larger ports located at the lower part of the
counterbalance valve. These are straight through ports to the opposite side of the valve and
connect to the machine mounted auxiliary hydraulics. These ports will yield the low pressure
drop required by hammers, compactors, or other uni-directional operation where low pressure
drop is desired.

3. A low pressure drop bi-directional operation is also available. This would be for attachments
such as augers, where you desire low pressure drop main flow, but still need the occasional
ability to reverse the operation. For this operation, use the same ports as the uni-directional
operation.

m WHEEL AND TIRE MAINTENANCE
• Do NOT weld to wheel or rim when a
tire is installed. Welding will cause an
explosive air/gas mixture that will be
ignited with high temperatures. This
can happen to tires inflated or deflated.
Removing air or breaking bead is not
adequate. Tire MUST be completely
removed from the rim prior to welding.
~ ROLL-OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE
• Do not modify ROPS in any manner. Unauthorized modifications such as welding,
drilling, cutting, or adding attachments can weaken the structure and reduce your
protection. Replace ROPS if it is subjected to roll-over or damage. Do not attempt to
repair.

• Lower the bucket or tool to the ground
or block up the machine securely
before working on the machine. Follow
the instructions in this manual when
you service the machine.
• Clean the machine regularly. A build-up
of grease, dirt, and debris can cause
possible injury or machine damage.
Keep your work shop clean.
• Before welding on this machine,
disconnect the battery ground (-).
• Fluids such as Gasoline, Kerosene,
Diesel Fuel, Hydraulic Oil, etc. contain
chemicals that can be dangerous to
your health and can cause cancer and/
or birth defects. Contact either
internally or externally can cause
infection or other injury. If any internal
or external contact occurs, see your
local Poison Control Center or doctor
IMMEDIATELY.
• Explosive separation of the tire and/or
rim parts can cause injury or death.
When tire service is necessary, have a
qualified tire mechanic service the tire.
