Safety Improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner can result in injury. To reduce the potential for injury, comply with these safety instructions and always pay attention to the safety alert symbol, which means CAUTION, WARNING, or DANGER—“personal safety instruction.” Failure to comply with the instruction may result in personal injury or death. General Operation • Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the operator’s manual, in the video, and on the traction unit before starting.
Safety • Never jerk the control levers; use a steady motion. • Keep your hands, feet, hair, and loose clothing away from any moving parts. • Operate only in daylight or good artificial light. • Do not operate the traction unit while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. • Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways. • Use extra care when loading or unloading the traction unit onto a trailer or truck. full bucket will make the front of the traction unit the heavy end.
Safety Children • Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the traction unit and the work activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. • Keep children out of the work area and under the watchful care of another responsible adult. Use extra care when handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive. • Use only an approved container.

Assembly Activating the Battery The traction unit is shipped with a dry battery. Purchase bulk electrolyte with 1.260 specific gravity from a local battery supply outlet. 1. POTENTIAL HAZARD • Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is a deadly poison and it causes severe burns. Open the rear access cover; refer to Opening the Rear Access Cover, page 23. 2. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • If you drink electrolyte you could die or if it Remove the bolts and clamp securing the battery (Fig. 1).
Assembly 5. Leave the covers off and connect a 3 to 4 amp battery charger to the battery posts (Fig. 3). Charge the battery at a rate of 4 amperes or less for 4 hours (12 volts). IMPORTANT: Do not allow the battery posts to touch the frame or hydraulic lines or it may cause sparks. 9. Secure the battery in chassis with the clamp and bolts removed previously (Fig. 1). 10. Using the bolt and nut supplied with the battery, connect the positive (red) cable to the positive (+) battery post (Fig. 1).

Check Before Operating Stability Data The following table lists the maximum slope recommended for the traction unit in the positions listed in the table. Slopes over the listed degree may cause the traction unit to become unstable. The data in the table assumes that the loader arms are fully lowered; raised arms may affect the stability.
Before Operating Before operating, check the fuel and oil level, and remove debris from the traction unit. Also, ensure that the area is clear of people and debris. You should also know and have marked the locations of all utility lines. POTENTIAL HAZARD • In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. WHAT CAN HAPPEN Adding Fuel • A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and cause property damage.
Check Before Operating • Cleans the engine while it runs 5. • Pull out the dipstick and wipe the metal end clean (Fig. 4). Eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel system, which causes hard starting 6. Slide the dipstick fully into the dipstick tube (Fig. 4). IMPORTANT: Do not use fuel additives containing methanol or ethanol. 2 1 4 Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to the gas. Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective when mixed with fresh gasoline.
Check Before Operating 3. Open the hood; refer to Opening the Hood, page 23. 4. Clean any debris from the front and side screens. 5. Wipe away debris from the air cleaner. 6. Clean any debris build–up on the engine with a brush or blower. IMPORTANT: It is preferable to blow dirt out, rather than washing it out. If water is used, keep it away from electrical items and hydraulic valves. Do not use a high-pressure washer.

Operation Choke Knob Controls Become familiar with all the controls (Fig. 7) before you start the engine and operate the traction unit. 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Reference Bar 3 4 m–4663 Before starting a cold engine, pull the choke knob out. After the engine starts, regulate the choke to keep the engine running smoothly. As soon as possible, push the choke knob in as far as possible. A warm engine requires little or no choking.
Operation To tilt the attachment rearward, slowly move the lever to the left (Fig. 9). To lower the loader arms, slowly move the lever forward (Fig. 9). To raise the loader arms, slowly move the lever rearward (Fig. 9). You can also push the lever fully forward into a detent position (Fig. 9) to release the loader arms so that the attachment rests on the ground. This allows attachments such as the leveler and the hydraulic blade to follow the contours of the ground (i.e., float) when grading.
Operation To release the brake, pull the lever rearward and right, out of the notch, and then push it forward. Fuel Gauge period between attempts. Failure to follow these instructions can burn out the starter motor. 5. After the engine starts, gradually push the choke inward. If the engine stalls or hesitates, pull the choke out again until the engine warms up. 6. Move the throttle lever to desired setting. This gauge measures the amount of fuel in the fuel tank.
Operation Stopping the Traction Unit To stop the traction unit, release the traction control, move the throttle lever to slow (turtle), lower loader arms to the ground, and stop the engine. Set the parking brake and remove the key. 2 1 m–4767 POTENTIAL HAZARD • Someone could move or attempt to operate the traction unit while it is unattended. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Children or bystanders may be injured if they use the traction unit.
Operation 5. 6. Remove the hairpin cotter and clevis pin securing the cylinder lock to the loader arm (Fig. 13) Using Attachments IMPORTANT: If you are using an attachment with a serial number of 200999999 or earlier, the manual for the attachment may contain information specific to the use of the attachment with other Dingo models, such as settings for the flow divider control and speed selector lever and the use of a counterweight on the traction unit.
Operation 5. Raise the loader arms while tilting back the mount plate at the same time. IMPORTANT: The attachment should be raised enough to clear the ground, and the mount plate should be tilted all the way back. 6. Stop the engine. POTENTIAL HAZARD • If the quick attach pins are not fully seated through the attachment mount plate, the attachment could fall off of the traction unit. 7. Engage the quick attach pins, ensuring that they are fully seated in the mount plate (Fig. 15).
Operation POTENTIAL HAZARD • Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and cause injury. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Fluid accidentally injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene may result. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD • Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure hydraulic fluid. • Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks, never use your hands. 3.

Note: 1 3 2 4 Dispose of used oil at a certified recycling center. 12. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. 13. Stop the engine. 14.
Maintenance Servicing the Battery 3. Check the electrolyte level in the battery every 100 hours. Always keep the battery clean and fully charged. Use a paper towel to clean the battery case. If the battery terminals are corroded, clean them with a solution of four parts water and one part baking soda. Apply a light coating of grease to the battery terminals to reduce corrosion.
Maintenance on a regular basis. When the debris is one to two inches deep, complete the following procedure (refer to Figure 41 throughout this procedure): 11. Disconnect the fuel line. 12. Disconnect the two wires leading to the right side of the tank (Fig. 42). 5 1 2 3 1 4 2 m–4776 Figure 42 1 1. Black wire 2. Orange wire m–4773 Figure 41 1. Side weights 2. Rear panel 3.
