SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW (continued)

Avoid inclines, if at all possible.

WARNING: Navigating on any incline increases the danger of the 825TKL losing traction or

rolling over, especially if the surface is wet. If you lose control, step off immediately to avoid

personal injury. Navigation on inclines should be especially slow and turns very gradual. Refer to the

incline diagram in the section, “GROUND TRANSPORT”.

Avoid operating adjacent to drop-offs or embankments.

Keep away from tracks to avoid getting crushed.

WARNING: Getting run over by the Track Loader will cause injury.

Always leave the 825TKL parked on a level surface.

WARNING: Do not park on incline. Move the 825TKL to a level surface and set the parking

brake located behind the left hand track motor. Move the handle down to engage the brake.

Do not leave 825TKL unattended with the engine running.

Do not operate the 825TKL near any source of flammable dust or vapors.

WARNING: Sparks from the engine exhaust can cause an explosion or fire in a flammable or

explosive atmosphere. Fuel fumes can catch fire or explode.

Do not operate the 825TKL near flames or sparks.

WARNING: Fuel fumes can catch fire or explode.

Shut off engine and allow it to cool before refueling.

WARNING: Fuel fumes can catch fire or explode. Do not smoke when refueling. Do not

refuel near a source flames or sparks.

Do not touch the engine, muffler, or any of the hydraulic components until cool.

WARNING: Muffler and engine get hot enough to cause serious burns. For the safety of

yourself and others, allow enough time for the engine, muffler, and the hydraulic fluid to cool

completely before performing any cleaning or maintenance.

825TKL OPERATOR’S MANUAL 2/10/20 Page 9 of 28

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW (continued)

Avoid contact with hydraulic fluid.

WARNING: When machine is operating, hydraulic fluid is under extreme pressure and can

get under skin and burn or poison.

Keep others away. If the job site is near a road or pedestrian path, warn and divert both motorized

traffic and pedestrians. As appropriate, use traffic flag personnel, signs, cones, and lighting devices to

insure safety.

Only the operator is allowed to stand on the 825TKL.

Never lift the 825TKL over any person at any time.

Attachments can change the center of mass and machine operations.

BATTERY & ELECTRIC STARTER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Shield entire face, especially your eyes, and wear rubber gloves to avoid acid burns whenever doing

anything with the battery. Battery caps must be tightly in place if the battery has removable caps.

WARNING: The battery contains sulfuric acid that can cause blindness and severe burns.

Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. If acid contacts eyes, call 911 immediately and

flush eyes with water for 15 minutes or until emergency medical help arrives. If acid contacts skin,

flush area with plenty of water. If acid is ingested, drink large quantities of water or milk then follow

with milk of magnesia, beaten egg, or vegetable oil, and get medical attention immediately.

Avoid contact with battery components. Wear rubber gloves and wash hands after handling any

battery components.

WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead

CONTROLS

825TKL OPERATOR’S MANUAL 2/10/20 Page 11 of 28

ENGINE START UP PROCEDURE

Your 825TKL is setup with an automatic glow plug warmer. If the coolant temperature is below

140F°, the glow plugs will warm for 5-10 seconds.

1. Insert key into ignition

2. Set throttle at low idle

3. Turn key to the first setting (ACC). The glow plugs will warm if necessary

4. Turn key to “START” position to engage starter. Engine should fire within a few seconds. Do

not run the starter more than 20 seconds at a time. This may damage the starter motor.

5. Warm up the engine at a medium idle without load

Check to make sure the oil pressure light goes off. If the oil pressure light remains on, turn engine off

immediately and determine the cause.

ENGINE SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE

1. Return the speed control lever to idle

2. Turn the key off

Allow engine to cool before refueling.

825TKL OPERATOR’S MANUAL 2/10/20 Page 12 of 28

WARNING: Fuel fumes can catch fire or explode. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in

the area.

Do not touch the engine, muffler, or any of the hydraulic components until

cool. WARNING: Muffler and engine get hot enough to cause serious

burns. For the safety of yourself and others, allow enough time for

the engine, muffler, and the hydraulic fluid to cool completely before

performing any cleaning or maintenance.

See the Engine Manual from Kubota included with the machine for more engine instructions.

Only operate the 825TKL outdoors and avoid breathing engine exhaust and fumes.

COLD WEATHER OPERATIONS: Before operating in cold weather, refer to the Engine Owner’s

Manual for recommended engine oil. Do not spray starting fluid into the air cleaner as engine damage

could result. If the machine is operated at temperatures below +32°F (0°C) then changing the

hydraulic fluid to ISO 46 is recommended. If you do not want to change the hydraulic fluid but want

to operate the machine at temperatures below +32°F (0°C), then do the following:

•Warm up engine at a low speed.

•Gradually increase engine speed, allowing 30 minutes for the hydraulic fluid to warm up.

Reduce the engine speed if the hydraulic pump whines. Pump noise may indicate a lack of hydraulic

fluid flow that could damage the pump.

For frequent starts below 18°F consult your Barreto Manufacturing, Inc. dealer.

DRIVING PROCEDURE

1. Follow engine start up procedure.

2. Securely grasp the handle surrounding the control levers.

3. The left-hand lever controls the track system and speed. Increasing the lever movement forward

or backwards will increase the speed of the unit.

4. Moving the left-hand lever left or right will drive the tracks in that direction

5. The right lever controls the lift arms and tilt of the attachment plate. Pulling the lever back will

raise the arms, pushing forward will lower the arms. Moving the lever left will tilt the attachment

plate upward, moving it to the right will tilt the attachment plate downward or away from the

operator.

6. Pushing the right-hand lever fully forward will enable the float action of the lift arms, allowing

the attachment to follow the contour of the ground.

NOTE: the 825TKL ride platform contains an Operator Presence Switch which will disable all

machine functions if the operator steps off the platform. The operator must be standing on the

platform for all driving, lift arm or tool functions to operate.

OPERATIONAL INCLINES

Do not operate the 825TKL on a side hill greater than 20°. Doing so may cause the unit to tip over

and cause damage to the operator and machine.

ATTACHMENTS

The 825TKL is designed to use a wide variety of industry-standard attachments from multiple

manufacturers. The attachment system consists of a mount plate connected to the lift arms at the front

of the machine. This plate also contains two lock pins to prevent the attachment from disconnecting

while in use.

To connect to an attachment, tilt the attachment plate down toward the desired tool and drive the

attachment plate into the pocket on the attachment. Once the attachment plate is fitted to the pocket,

825TKL OPERATOR’S MANUAL 2/10/20 Page 14 of 28

tilt the attachment plate upward to until the plate fully rests against the tool. Lock the two lock pins in

place using the levers attached to the lock pins. Once the attachment is fully secured, return to the

ride platform.

DISPLAY PANEL FEATURES

The display panel shows important information or warnings regarding the machine and engine

operation. The display panel also contains several buttons that will need to be used for the auxiliary

tools to be enabled. Normal operational information will be displayed in Blue, while warnings will be

displayed in Red.

825TKL OPERATOR’S MANUAL 2/10/20 Page 16 of 28

SPEED SELECTION

The track drive speed can be selected from the display to allow better control in tight spaces or while

using attachments. To select the operating speed of the track drive, press the “Speed Select” button

on the display, then press the button again to cycle through the speed drive options.

TIP-OVER PROTECTION

In the event of a Tip-Over situation, the machine’s incline sensor will shut off the fuel pump and kill

the engine. You will see the following images on the screen. The operator will need to call the rental

center the machine came from and get Tip-Over code from the owner. Use the display buttons to

enter the code to allow the machine to start again.
