94 3CX Levers and Buttons help

[Ppearse]

Hi All,

Newbie (so as most will say sorry for breaking any rules, or being dumb!)

Ive just started on the backhoe / 3cx journey with a 94 sitemaster, downloaded usermanuals but wanted some help on some of the buttons and levers as they seem to do nothing and cant find the answers in the manuals

1. Button on the side of the steering column
2. Front of lever: Not sure
3. Side of lever: Clutch Dump
4. No idea what this one is!
5. Think this is the boom lock?

Thanks in advance, and hopefully all easy ones

Hi Phill, welcome.
Your links arn't working for me.
Download the Operators Manual (9801 / 5350) from the downloads section.

The function of the shovel buttons are described on page 41
The boom lock is on Page 56 (looks like a handbrake lever next to the hand throttle when facing the hoe).

Uploading images direct to this site "is" a bit funky - it's a two-stage proccess (1-upload, 2-attach image to post)

Thanks! That confirms / points to the right places for those!
Ive just updated the photos

Great - pics visible now.
Oh .. ummm ... very different layout to mine. Someone else will need to confirm.

1 - in that place, mine has a steering column adust.

You've got the Syncro Shuttle - I've got the power shift, so a bit different.
On mine, '2' is the dump, '3' is the front horn (tell the truck driver he's full, I guess).
4 - no idea. I don't have one of those.
5 - boom lock (I think). different location to mine.

Hello Ppearse

My layout is not the same as yours. own a 1997 3cx, all works the same way but a little different command setting.
The #2 and #3 switches are the dump and horn, as gecko mentioned.
#4 seems more like the boom lock system oil container.

good luck and keep us updated...

Hi All,

Thanks for the help, turns out I think they are all the right answers, but non of the buttons or levers are connected! So now its on to mini restoration!

Is there a recommended parts supplier that you would advise?
