harmful. Terex/ASV complies with this requirement by providing the following information.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

CALIFORNIA

Proposition 65

Warning: This product contains lead and

lead compounds, diesel engine exhaust,

and used engine oil, chemicals known to

the state of California to cause cancer.

Thank you for purchasing an ASV

Rubber Track Loader. With this

machine, you will be able to perform

tasks faster and more efficiently than

with any other machine its size.

The PT-50/60 are rugged and agile

machines capable of working on a vari-

ety of challenging terrains. They are

designed to be very safe, but safe oper-

ation also requires caution and attentive-

ness on the part of the operator.

There are many hazards that can be

encountered during operation of an off

highway utility vehicle such as the PT-

50/60. With this in mind, it is the respon-

sibility of each operator to read and fully

understand this manual before attempt-

ing to operate the machine. Machine

damage, bodily injury, or even death

may result if the procedures and precau-

tions described in this manual are not

followed closely.

At the time of publication, all information,

photographs, and illustrations are techni-

cally correct.

Machine Orientation

Terms like front, rear, left, and right are

used throughout this manual to describe

portions of the machine. They are to be

understood from the perspective of an

operator seated inside the cab.

1. Warm engine prior to operating the machine.

2. Carry loads low. Load, unload and turn on level ground.

3. On inclines, travel with the heaviest end of the machine facing uphill.

4. Passengers are not permitted in or on the machine at any time.

5. Never use an attachment as a work platform.

Failure to comply with these instructions may result in machine damage, injury, or death.

Operating Guidelines

2040-121

Fire Prevention

Rubber track loaders have components

that operate at high temperatures. The

main heat sources are the engine and

the exhaust system. The electrical sys-

tem can also be a source of heat or

sparks if damaged or improperly main-

tained.

In some work environments, flammable

items such as leaves, straw, and brush

cutting debris may come in contact with

these components. It is very important

that flammable items be removed often

from close proximity to these high tem-

perature items. If debris is allowed to

accumulate, a fire may result posing a

risk to the operator and the machine. A

fire can cause machine damage, severe

injury, or even death.

Overheat Prevention

The radiator/oil cooler must be inspected

for signs of clogging and cleaned daily or

more often as needed to prevent the

engine and hydraulic system from over-

heating

Listed are a set of precautionary tasks

that should be performed daily or more

often if necessary. Repair or replace

worn or damaged components as

needed to ensure safe machine opera-

tion.

Precautionary Tasks

• With the engine off and cool, clean

dirt/debris from the radiator/oil cooler,

engine compartment, exhaust system,

attachments and other areas where

there may be hot or rotating parts.

Remove the belly pans and pressure

wash these items and all surrounding

areas until clean.

• Check battery, fuse panel, electrical

wiring and connections for damage or

looseness.

• Check fuel and hydraulic lines/hoses

for leaks or damage. Never use bare

hands to check for leaks. Pressurized

fluid can penetrate skin and cause

injury or even death.

1. Remove any attachment

from the machine.

2. Have an second person

remove the lift arm brace.

3. Raise the lift arms.

4. Have the second person

place the lift arm brace onto the

top side of the cylinder ram.

5. Install the retaining pins

using the holes labeled with the

arrows.

6. Slowly lower the lift arms

until they contact the brace.

7. Reverse these steps to

disengage the lift arm brace

WARNING

If instructions to safely install

lift arm brace are not followed

injury or death could result.

NEVER GO BENEATH UNSECURED LIFT ARMS

0201-752

• Never use ether or any other aerosol type starting aid to start the engine.

• Always stop the engine and allow the machine to cool before adding fuel.

• Never smoke or allow open flame near the machine while refueling.

WARNING

Operating Capacity

The operating capacity is a percentage

of the machine’s tipping load. Tipping

load refers to the amount of weight

required to tip the machine forward when

applied to the center of gravity of the

standard dirt bucket.

This rating is calculated with the machine

on level ground and the bucket attach-

ment installed, curled and raised until at

its furthest point from the machine in the

lift arm travel path.

The Rated Operating Capacity is then

calculated as 35% of the tipping load for

traditional track loaders and 50% of the

tipping load for wheeled skid steer load-

ers. ASV publishes both figures for refer-

ence and comparison.

Note: SAE J818 standards define oper-

ating capacities of rubber-tired skid

steers (50% tipping load) and tracked

loaders (35% tipping load). There are no

standards defining the operating capacity

of machines equipped with a suspended

undercarriage or machines with rubber

tracks.

Gross Vehicle Weight

The GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) of the

PT-50 or PT-60 should not exceed 8,500

lbs. This weight does not include an

operator, but does include any acces-

sories, attachments or material being

carried. Operating the machine in excess

of the GVW will void the warranty (see

page 2).

OOPPEERRAATTIINNGGCCAAPPAACCIITTYY

Loader and Drive Controls

The PT-50 and PT-60 have two hydraulic

pilot joystick controls. The joysticks are

used to control machine speed and

direction as well as lift arm, bucket, and

attachment functions. Joystick A (photo

right) is used to control the lift arms,

bucket, and to engage the float function.

To activate the float function, move the

joystick fully forward in a quick motion.

The joystick will then be held in detent

by the magnet attached to the joystick

base. Pull back quickly to disengage.

Joystick B controls the direction and

speed of the machine.

Control Options

Machines are available with a "Case"

style control configuration. Machines

equipped in this manner use similar joy-

sticks, but operate using a different pat-

tern to control machine function. In this

pattern, joystick A controls both the right

track and the bucket curl and dump func-

tions. Joystick B controls the left track,

lift arm, and float functions. The float

function does not have a detent position

in this configuration and must be manu-

ally held in position while operating with

float engaged.

Throttle

The throttle (C) controls engine rpm.

Use a lower rpm for work that requires

delicate operation of the machine. Use

higher rpm when faster travel speed,

higher horsepower, or more flow is

required.

• To Increase RPM, move the lever (C)

toward the front of the machine.

• To decrease RPM, move the lever (C)

toward the rear of the machine.

lights illuminate during normal opera-

tion, shut the machine down immedi-

ately. Diagnose and make needed

repairs before resuming operation.
