------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury or death can result from not following the proper procedures.

To avoid the possibility of injury or death, follow the established procedure.



NOTICE

Always make sure that the boom control joystick is in the NEUTRAL position before activating the SmartBoom.

Do not select any SmartBoom mode, using the SmartBoom selector switch located on the console, while the tracks are elevated.

If any SmartBoom mode is active while the boom control joystick is in the BOOM DOWN position (forward) and the bucket or tool is on the ground, do not press the disable button that is located on the front of the right-hand joystick. Pressing the disable button could cause a sudden Boom Down motion and tilt the machine upward.

While the machine is in any SmartBoom mode, do not attempt to lift the tracks by using the disable button and applying downward force with the BOOM LOWER control. Releasing the disable button will immediately return the machine to the active SmartBoom mode. This action could cause the machine to drop down abruptly.


Note: The implement controls depend on the machine configuration. Refer to the standard Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Joystick Controls" for your machine.

During operation of the SmartBoom, the operator may wish to apply downward force to the boom. When the SmartBoom switch is in the SmartBoom DOWN position or the switch is in the SmartBoom UP AND DOWN position, the operator can disable the SmartBoom function temporarily with the SmartBoom Disable Button. While the button is pressed, BOOM RAISE and BOOM LOWER will operate in the normal modes.
