ing swing power. Failure to do so may result in damage to
the front attachment and/or shortening the service life of
the swing system.
SA-1225
DON’T PULL OUT SCRAPS WITH THE

GRAPPLE
WRONG
• Don’t forcibly pull out scraps with the grapple. Tipping
over of the machine and/or damage to the front attach-
ment may result.
AVOID USING THE FRONT ATTACHMENT AS

A HAMMER
Don’t perform hammering and/or pile driving work with the

front attachment. Damage to the front attachment struc-
tural parts may result. Personal injury and/or death may
also result.

PREVENT COLLISION WITH THE CAB
• This machine is equipped with the cab raise/lower func-

tion so that the cab is located farther forward than the
standard cab.
• Pay attention not to allow the front attachment work tool
to come in contact the cab.
AVOID EXCAVATION
• Never attempt to perform excavation with the grapple.

• If excavation is made, large impact loads may be applied
to the cab raise/lower system, possibly resulting in
damage to the cab raise/lower system.
S-17
SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS FOR SWING OPERATION
• Perform swing operation with extra care.

• Before swinging the machine, be sure to completely
lower all stabilizers. Failure to do so may result in tipping
over of the machine.
• During swing operation, avoid sudden stopping of ma-
chine movement by letting the front attachment come in
contact with other objects. Since the cab is located far-
ther forward than the standard cab, the machine swing
inertia force is increased, resulting in creating larger im-
pact loads. Avoid incorrect swing operation. The cab
raise/lower system may receive large impact loads, pos-
sibly resulting in damage to the cab raise/lower system.
S-18
SAFETY
RAISE OR LOWER THE CAB SAFELY

DRIVING THE MACHINE
TRAVELING
Correct machine operation will extend all part/component
service life and save fuel and lubricants. To operate the
machine safely and economically, follow the instructions
below.
Precautions
1. Remove the front attachment such as the grapple or

the lifting magnet.
2. Check the tires for any damage, such as scratches,
cracks, etc..
Check the pressure of each tire.
Check for obstructions or danger around the
machine.
3. Raise stabilizers /blade.
5. Position the front attachment to the front of the
machine, then insert the swing lock lever.
6. When traveling on a public road, position the front
attachment as illustrated below, then place the pilot
control shutt-off lever in the “LOCK” position.
7. Before traveling the machine, fully turn the engine
control dial counterclockwise to run the engine at
slow idle speed. Control the engine speed by operat-
ing the accelerator pedal.

DRIVING THE MACHINE
ENGINE SPEED CONTROL
The engine speed control mode, pedal, dial, or creeper, is

selected by operating engine control mode selection switch
(1). Depending on machine operating conditions, select the
proper engine control mode best matching those condi-
tions. 1
• Pedal Mode
This mode suits normal travel operation best. Adjusting
the stroke of the forward/reverse travel pedal controls
the engine speed. When the forward/reverse pedal is
stepped on, the engine speed increases. When the
pedal is returned to neutral, the engine speed is reduced.
After the engine speed is set to run at slow idle speed by
fully turning the engine control dial counterclockwise be-
fore traveling the machine, when traveling is started by
stepping the forward/reverse travel pedal, the engine
speed increases in proportion to the pedal stroke. When
the pedal is returned to neutral to temporarily stop the
machine, the engine speed is reduced to slow idle speed,
decreasing fuel consumption and travel noise level.
• Dial Mode
This mode suits traveling at the job site best. Only the
engine control dial can control the engine speed irre-
spective of how much the forward/reverse travel pedal is
MCBB-01-014
stroked. The engine speed is kept constant while travel-
ing short distance in the same job site during operation
of the front attachment, no readjustment of the engine
speed is required. However, the maximum travel speed
is slightly slower than that in the pedal mode.
• Creeper Mode
The machine can travel at very slow speed. The engine
speed is controlled with the engine control dial only.
Even if the engine control dial is turned fully clockwise to
set the engine speed to fast idle speed and the for-
ward/reverse travel pedal is fully stepped on, the ma-
chine can travel at very slow speed. All functions other
than traveling can be operated at normal speed in this
mode. Therefore, it is very convenient to engage in front
attachment work while moving the machine at very slow
speed.
2-2
DRIVING THE MACHINE
Precautions
1. Check the tires for any damage, such as scratches,
cracks, etc..
Check the pressure of each tire.
Check for obstructions or danger around the
machine.
2. Raise stabilizers/blade.
3. Position the front attachment to the front of the
machine, then insert the swing lock lever.
4. When traveling on a public road, position the front
attachment as illustrated below, then place the pilot
control shutt-off lever in the “LOCK” position.
Starting
5. Be sure that brake oil pressure gauge needle
remains within the white range.
6. Check for safety around the machine. Place the shift
lever to the drive or low position. Turn the brake
switch OFF to release the parking brake. Only the
210W’s engine speed (travel idle speed) will increase
-1
approx. 200 min (rpm) faster than the starting speed
at this time. Slowly step on the forward/reverse pedal
to start traveling. Use the accelerator pedal to accel-
erate or decelerate the travel speed.
7. In a safe place, confirm that the brakes function
properly.
2-3
DRIVING THE MACHINE
STOPPING AND RESTARTING WHILE
TRAVELING ON A PUBLIC ROAD
1. Smoothly remove foot from the forward/reverse pedal,
and gently step on the brake pedal to stop the ma-
chine.
2. Slowly depress the forward/reverse pedal to start the

machine moving again.
3. When waiting at red light or stopping the machine for

long period, always place the shift lever in neutral,
turn the brake switch to the P (parking) position and
apply the parking brake for your safety.
4. Front attachment may lower while driving because of

natural, internal hydraulic oil leakage.
When this happens, stop the machine in a safe place.
Place the shift lever in neutral, turn the brake switch
to the S (working) position and apply the working
brake.
Readjust the front attachment to the traveling position,
as illustrated on the previous page, then resume
traveling.
Driving instructions
For your safety and the safety of others, when driving
keep in mind the following instructions, and obey all traf-
fic regulations .
CAUTION:
• Should you have a flat tire while driving, hold
the steering wheel tightly, and stop the ma-
chine gradually. Do not apply the brake sud-
denly. Doing so may cause the machine to tip
over or accidents involving your machine
and/or following vehicles.
• Do not try to get on or off the machine while
traveling. Allow only the operator on the ma-
chine. Keep riders off.
IMPORTANT: • Stop the machine immediately if the

warning buzzer sounds, brake oil
pressure indicator or abnormal travel
motor indicator come on.
• When installing a 2-way radio, locate
an antenna outside the cab. If the an-
tenna is located in the cab, travel
speed may become out of control due
to radio wave interference.
2-4
DRIVING THE MACHINE
1. Even after the break-in period (first 50 hours) is over,
avoid running the engine at high speeds with no load.
2. If you notice any abnormal sounds or smells, imme-

diately stop the machine, turn off the engine, and
check for causes.
3. Do not turn the steering wheel or brake suddenly.

Doing so may cause accidents involving your ma-
chine and/or following vehicles.
4. This machine is slow-moving vehicle. Always drive to

the side of the road and yield to faster vehicles.
5. Front attachment reduces visibility to the right and

right front of the machine. Before curves, reduce
speed and drive with extra care. Also, take extra care
for right side and right front side clearance while driv-
ing through curves.
6. Make it customary to check instruments ( especially

brake oil pressure gauge and indicator).
If any abnormality is indicated , stop the machine
immediately, and check for causes.
7. Use a signal person when driving on the shoulder of

a road or in congested areas.
8. Before restarting at an intersection or turning right, be

sure to check the right and right front of the machine
for any obstructions. After confirming safety, restart or
turn right with care.
2-5
DRIVING THE MACHINE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRAVELING ON A
SLOPE
IMPORTANT: • Do not descend a slope with the for-

ward/reverse pedal in neutral. Dam-
age to the travel motor may result.
• Use hydraulic pressure brake (relief
pressure) when descending a slope.
Step on the brake pedal only when
required. If only the foot brake is
used, the brake drum and disk will
overheat, decreasing brake perform-
ance and causing a personal accident.
In case the brake system such as the
brake drum and disk overheat, imme-
diately park the machine in a safe
area. Wait for the brake system to
cool before restating to travel the
machine. When descending a long
slope continuously, hydraulic oil
temperature in the travel circuit may
increase. Occasionally step on the
forward/reverse pedal. If hydraulic oil
temperature in the travel circuit
overheats, damage to the hydraulic
components may result.
• In case the engine stalls on a slope, be sure to de-

press the brake pedal and turn the brake switch to “P”
(parking) position. Then, restart the engine.
• Before descending a slope, operate the bake to check
that the brake operates normally.
• When hydraulic oil and/or lubricant is not warmed up,
gradeability may be reduced. Before ascending a
steep slope, sufficiently warm up the machine.
