PIN Location/Safety Warnings
Product Identification Number (PIN)
The machine PIN is located on the left
side of the firewall, next to the seat
(shown above). Always provide the PIN
when contacting the dealer about parts,
service, warranty or accessories. No
warranty claims will be processed if the
PIN number is not given.
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 system
can also be a source of heat or sparks if
damaged or improperly maintained.
In some work environments, flamma-
ble items such as leaves, straw, and
brush cutting debris may come in con-
tact with these items. It is very impor-
tant that flammable items be removed
often from close proximity to these high
temperature 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 operation.
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 box, 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.

Safety Warnings
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
!WARNING!
• 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.
Operating Capacity
7
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
attachment 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 ref-
erence and comparison.
NOTE: SAE J818 standards define operating
capacities of rubber-tired skid steers (50%
tipping load) and tracked loaders (35% tip-
ping 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 RC-50 or RC-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).
Loader and Drive Controls
The RC-50 and RC-60 have two
hydraulic pilot joystick controls. These
two joysticks are used to control
machine speed and direction as well as
lift arm, bucket, and attachment func-
tions. 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 mag-
net 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
functions. 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 manually held in position while oper-
ating 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.

If the battery low-voltage light (R)
illuminates, drive the machine to a suit-
able location and shut the engine off.
Diagnose the problem and make needed
repairs before continuing to operate.
The glow plug operation light (O) illu-
minates only when the key switch is
turned to engine pre-heat, showing nor-
mal operation.
Also included in the gauge/warning
light panel is a fuel level gauge (L) and
a service hour meter (M).

Machine Operation
Pre-Start Checklist
Before operating a Rubber Track
Loader, inspect the machine. Look for
any loose or worn parts. This inspection
will help avoid machine damage or per-
sonal injury during operation.
Check for proper:
1. Track tension;
2. Fluid levels;
3. Fan belt tension and condition;
4. Hoses (no visible signs of wear);
5. Fittings (no leaks);
6. Battery cables;
7. Controls for neutral.
Starting Procedure
Before starting the engine, perform the
pre-start checklist then proceed with the
following procedure:
1. Enter machine with lift arms all the
way down. Maintain a three-point
contact with the machine (photo A).
2. Fasten seat belt, and lower lap bar
into position.
3. Starting with the throttle in the
SLOW position, push the throttle 1/3
the way open.
4. Turn the ignition key to the left for 6
seconds to “pre-heat” the engine.
While pre-heating, the glow plug
operation light will illuminate.
5. Turn the ignition key to the right to
start the engine.
6. Run the engine at low idle for 3 to 5
minutes to warm up the engine.
7. Set throttle to desired rpm.
NOTE: The parking brake is automatically
engaged when the engine is turned off, the
operator is not in the seat or the lap bar is
raised.
AB
!WARNING! Entering or exiting the vehi-
cle under raised lift arms could cause
serious injury or death. Never allow
anyone to be underneath raised, unse-
cured lift arms (photo B).
