or while you or someone near is smoking.
n Do not operate any of the control levers
(including auxiliary levers) unless you are
standing with both feet on the platform and
rmly holding the grip handles.
n Always wear long pants and substantial
shoes (no sandals, thongs, tennis shoes, sneakers,
shorts or skirts).
n Do not place feet under the platform.
n Watch where you are driving. Always
look down and behind, before and while
reversing.
n WARNING Engine
exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide, which is
an odourless, deadly poison. Carbon Monoxide
can kill you. Do not run engine indoors or in a
conned space.
n Always lower Dingo arms and/or place
attachment on the ground when parking or
leaving the Dingo unattended. Always stop the
engine if leaving the operators platform.
n IMPORTANT Do not carry a load
or heavy attachment with the Dingo arms in a
raised position. Do not step off the platform
with a load raised.
n Never jerk the control levers. Use a
steady motion. Slow down before turning.
Sharp turns may cause loss of control.
n Stop the engine before making any
adjustments to the attachments or the machine.
n WARNING N e v e r
weld on or near the fuel tank whether it is empty
or full.
n Do not operate on or near embankments.

Dingo K9-4 Operation & Maintenance Manual 7
Operating on Slopes
All slopes require extra caution.
n Do not operate on slopes exceeding 15
degrees. If a slope is greater than 5 degrees, only
go up and down (not across).
n Always have the heavy end of the
machine uphill. Weight distribution will
change. An empty bucket will make the rear
of the machine heaviest, a loaded bucket will
make the front of the machine heaviest. Various
attachments will change which end is heaviest.
If you are unsure, phone us and ask. These
same rules apply when loading and unloading
the Dingo onto a trailer or truck.
n Avoid turning on slopes. If you must
turn, turn slowly keeping the heavy end of the
machine uphill.
n Do not operate near ditches or
embankments, the machine could turn over if
a wheel goes over the edge of a cliff or ditch or
the edge caves in.
n Do not operate on wet grass, reduced
traction could cause wheel slip.
n Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree
limbs, etc from the work area. Watch for ruts
or bumps as uneven terrain could overturn the
machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
n Operate in slow speed. Put pump selector
valve in slow (turtle) position so that you will
not have to stop or shift while on the slope.
n If parking on slopes or hillsides always
lower the Dingo arms and attachment to the
ground and chock the wheels.
n If machine becomes unstable, jump clear.
Never try to stabilise the machine by putting
your foot on the ground.
Children
n Be wary of the presence of children when
operating a Dingo. Children are often attracted
to the Dingo and the work activity.
n Keep children out of the work site and
under the watchful care of a responsible adult.
n Be alert and turn the machine off if
children enter the area.
n Never carry children (or anyone) on the
Dingo or any of its attachments.
n Do not allow children to play on the
Dingo or within the Dingo work site (aside from
the danger of working machinery there may be
holes into which a child could fall or various
other dangers).
n Do not allow children to use the
machine.
n Before reversing look behind and down
for small children. Be aware of blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or ends of fences that may obscure
vision.
Service
n Before performing any service, repairs,
maintenance or adjustment, stop the engine and
remove the key.
n Never run the machine in an enclosed
area.
n Perform all maintenance with the Dingo
arms fully lowered. If Dingo arms need to be
raised to perform tasks, secure them in the raised
position by using cylinder locks or a safety
stand. (Contact a Dingo representative if you
are unsure)
n Look after the Dingo. Keep nuts and
bolts tight.
n Do not tamper with safety devices. Before
each use check safety systems properly.

Operation -
Pre Start-Up
Pre Start-Up (daily)
Read this manual and the engine manual and
become familiar with the contents of both.
Always check the following before
operation:
• Fuel level - ll to 60mm from top
• Engine oil level (refer to engine manual)
• Remove all refuse from the machine
• Check air lter
• Check bushes
• Tyre pressure (25 - 35psi)
• Radiator - check/clean . Check uid (diesel
only)
• Check for oil leaks
• Check for damage & loose components
• Be sure that the work area is free from other
people and children
• Clean work area of any debris
• Know and mark the location of any utility
lines
• For rst 6 days of operation of new machine,
and rst 6 days of operation after changing
wheels, tighten wheel nuts daily.
Adding Fuel
Labelling on the fuel tank tells whether a machine
requires petroleum of diesel fuel. For fuel type
and information on suitable additives refer to
Engine Manual as supplied. (NB. If labelling
becomes lost or damaged order replacements
from your Dingo representative).
1 Position Dingo on level surface, lower the
Dingo arms and turn off the engine (turn ignition
key to off). Remove the key.
2 Remove the bonnet to expose the fuel tank
cap.
3 Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove the
cap. Use a funnel to add fuel to the fuel tank,
lling until the fuel reaches 60 - 70 mm below
the top of the tank. This space is needed to allow
the fuel room to expand. Do not ll the fuel tank
completely full.
4 Replace the fuel cap securely. Clean away any
fuel that may have spilt.
DANGER - Petroleum can be extremely
ammable and highly explosive.
To avoid a fire or explosion that may burn
yourself, other, or cause property damage:-
• Use a funnel and ll the fuel tank outdoors, in
an open area
• Allow the engine to cool before refuelling
• Clean up any petrol spills.
• Only ll to 60 mm from top of tank.
• Never smoke while handling fuels, and stay
away from an open ame or any place that a
spark may ignite petroleum fumes.
• Store fuels in an approved container, out of
reach from children. Never buy more than a 30
day supply of fuel.
Checking the engine oil
Check the engine oil level using the dip stick.
(Refer to your engine manual for details)
Remove Debris from the
Machine
IMPORTANT: Overheating will result if the
engine is operated with a blocked grass screen,
dirty or plugged cooling ns, and/or cooling
shrouds removed.
The hydraulic system will keep cooler if the
machine is free from debris on the hydraulic
tank and ttings.
Park the machine on a at surface, lower the
Dingo arms and turn off the engine. (turn ignition
key to off). Remove the key.
Check air lter pre-cleaner for debris. If required,
wipe away debris before and during each use.
Debris can build up in the engine area. Remove
sides of engine bay and clean any debris build-up
with a brush or blower before each use.
IMPORTANT: It is preferable to blow out dirt
than to wash it out. If water is used, keep it away
from electrical appliances.

Dingo K9-4 Operation & Maintenance Manual
10
Dingo K9-4 Operation & Maintenance Manual 11
IMPORTANT: Do not high pressure wash.
High pressure washing can damage the electrical
system.
Tyres and Traction
The correct tyre pressure is usually between
172 and 241 kpa (25-35psi). (Use lower
pressures for soft ground conditions & higher
pressures for hard ground conditions) Use of
incorrect tyre pressure will reduce the stability
and carrying capacity of the Dingo.
Filling the tyres with water can improve the
Dingo’s stability for lifting applications. Water
lling equipment can be purchased from Dingo
Australia.
This range includes:
• 8” Dingo tyres [machine width 970mm]
Specially designed for Dingo these 18"x8"
tyres feature a unique tread pattern for excellent
performance in a range of conditions, 6 ply for
strength & stability and a compound designed
for durability.
• 8” turf tyres [machine width 970mm]
general purpose - suitable for grassy areas,
dry soil and paved surfaces - minimum ground
disturbance.
• 8” lug tyres [machine width - 970] tractor type,
for building sites, and muddy situations.
• 20 x 8” sand tyre [machine width - 1020]
better oatation & clearance for sandy & loose
material conditions.
• 5” forklift type tyres [machine width -
810mm] narrower tyres, suitable for heavy
loads, restricted access, inside buildings, great
on all hard surfaces.
• 3” narrow solid tyres [machine width -
760mm] only for very restricted access - will
t through a standard doorway.
• Tracks [machine width - 1100mm] excellent
oatation and traction - suitable for mud, sand
and slush.
• Solid ll (all of the tyres mentioned above
(excluding the 3”solids) can be supplied by
Dingo Australia, lled with a puncture-proof,
solid foam).
• For more information on our range of traction
products, please speak to your nearest Dingo
representative.
Operating
Instructions
Read all the safety instructions and the pre start
up section of this manual and the engine manual
before operating the Dingo.
Caution - Do not operate any of the control
levers (including auxiliary lever) unless you
are standing with both feet on the platform and
rmly holding the grip handles.
IMPORTANT! Ensure the auxiliary
hydraulic lever is in the centre position
before attempting to start engine. The most
common cause of ‘hard to start/engine, will not
turn over fast enough, battery does not have
enough power’ type starting problems is that
the auxiliary lever has been left on or knocked
into gear and the engine is trying to start under
load.
Control Levers / Control
Panel
Key Switch
The key switch, used to start the engine, var-
ies on petrol and diesel models. Check engine
manufacturer's manual for starting instructions.
To shut engine off, rotate key to OFF position
(counter clockwise direction).
Throttle
Move control forward to increase engine speed
and rearward to decrease engine speed.
Choke
For instructions regarding use of the choke (pet-
rol models) refer to the engine manufacturer's
manual.
Drive Control Levers
To go forward, slowly push the right and left
drive control levers forward.
To go backward, slowly pull the right and left
drive control levers backward.

Auxiliary Hydraulic lever
The auxiliary hydraulics lever allows you to alter
the direction of rotation of hydraulically driven
attachments or stop them completely.
ATTENTION: Ensure auxiliary hydraulic lever
is in neutral position before starting engine.
Aside from starting difculties the attachment
may move during starting.
To operate attachment in forward direction,
slowly pull auxiliary lever rearward. To operate
attachment in reverse direction, slowly push
auxiliary lever forward.
Pump Selector Lever
When faster ground speed and lifting speed is
required (bucket work) more than attachment
speed and power, push the pump selector lever
to the rearward position (Hare).
When faster attachment speed and power is re-
quired (trenching, post hole digging etc) more
than ground speed and lifting power, push the
pump selector lever to the forward position
(Turtle).
Flow Divider Control
In its normal operating position no ow division
is taking place. Moving the lever forward diverts
oil ow to the attachment and less is available
to the Dingo wheels and arms. This allows
for greater concentration of power where it is
needed most.
The ow divider is mainly used for trenching,
rotary hoeing and stump grinding where it is
important for the attachment to have as much
power as possible and ground speed is not
important.

Starting the Engine
Stand on the platform. Move the auxiliary
hydraulics lever to neutral. Follow instruc-
tion on starting engine as detailed in the engine
manufacturer's manual.
Using Cylinder Locks
IMPORTANT: Normal maintenance should
be completed with the Dingo arms lowered. If
maintenance or repairs requires the Dingo arms
raised, use cylinder lock provided with Dingo.
WARNING! Dingo arms may lower when in
the raised position. Anyone under the Dingo
arms could be injured or crushed. To avoid this
hazard always install cylinder locks or a safety
stand. (Contact a Dingo representative if you
are unsure).
4in1 Bucket Lever
The 4in1 bucket lever opens and closes the
4in1 bucket. Push the lever forward to open
the bucket. Pull the lever backward to close
the bucket. When you let go of the lever it will
return to the centre and hold the bucket it the
current position.
Hydraulic Immobiliser
Each Dingo K9-4 is fitted with a security
hydraulic immobiliser. This immobiliser locks
the hydraulic system allowing no oil ow to the
wheels, thus making it impossible to drive the
machine away.
To engage the immobiliser:
1 Push the ow divider all the way forward
2 Push in the immobiliser lock
The ow divider is now locked into position
allowing no oil ow to the wheels.
To unlock the immobiliser:
1 Unlock the immobiliser lock using the key
2 Wriggle the ow divider lever to release the
lock from the ow divider
3 Move the ow divider lever back to the drive
position.
Warning Light
The warning light indicates low engine oil
pressure and high engine temperature. Ensure
you stop the engine immediately this light comes
on. Operating with the warning light on may
cause serious engine damage.
Auxiliary Power Socket
The auxiliary power socket is a 12 volt power
outlet for running lights, portable air compressors
mobile phone chargers etc. Power is available
from the socket when the ignition key is in the
ON position. To turn power off turn the key to
the OFF position.
Stopping the Dingo
To stop the machine, move the drive control
levers to neutral, lower Dingo arms to the
ground, and turn the ignition key to OFF to
stop the engine. Remember to remove the key
from the key switch.
CAUTION! If children or bystanders attempt to
operate the Dingo, someone could be injured. To
avoid attempted use by children or bystanders
while machine is unattended, remove key from
the ignition, even if just for a few minutes.
Moving a Non Functioning
Dingo
The best way to move a non functioning Dingo
is by forklift or crane. It is also possible to push
or tow a Dingo without the use of the engine. By
adjusting the Over Centre Valve it is possible to
free up the hydraulic circuit, allowing the wheel
motors to turn freely. Please call your nearest
Dingo service centre for more information.
Stopping the Engine
Refer to the relevant engine manual.
Note: If the engine has been working hard or
is hot, let it idle for a minute before turning the
ignition key to OFF. This helps cool the engine
before it is stopped. In an emergency, turning
the ignition key to OFF will stop the engine.

Air Filter
IMPORTANT:
The air lter is of extreme importance. It ensures
the air entering the engine is clean. Dirty air
will equate to greatly reduced engine life. The
time interval between changes of air lter will
depend on the operating conditions. Change of
air lter is recommended as opposed to cleaning
of the air lter.
Although the service schedule recommends 50
hour intervals between changes of the air lter,
if dusty conditions prevail, then 8 hours could
be too long.
Never blow out your air lter with compressed
air. (This may put holes in element)
If the lter or lter housing is damaged, stop the
engine immediately and replace the damaged
components. Failure to stop work when the
air lter of housing is damaged could result in
permanent damage.
arms.
These bushes/bearings are wear parts and
require regular inspection. (Once a week)
To check the condition of the bushes/bearings:
1 Remove attachment from the front of the
Dingo
2 Raise the arms until the mount plate is at waist
height
3 Grab the mount plate and wriggle back and
forth to try and identify any movement in any
of the joints in the mount plate
4 Grab the arms and wriggle up and down to
detect any movements in joints in the arms.
It is essential that bushes/bearings be replaced
on the rst sign of wear, or costly damage will
occur. Ensure that spare bushes/bearings are on
hand at all times.
To replace bushes:
1 Undo bolt in tag of pin.
2 Slide the pin out of the joint. If any damage to
chrome coating on pin, replace pin.
3 Use bush drift (part - 4DDRIFT) to punch
bush from joint.
4 Use bush drift to insert new bush. Careful not
to damage teon inner coating of bush.
5 Use emery paper or similar to clean joint
surfaces (allows pin to slide in easier)
6 Slide pin back into place. Avoid using hammer
to force pin back into position. This can damage
the bush.
7 Replace locking bolt.
Bushes/Bearings & Pins
Your Dingo has 9 bushes/bearings and 10 pins.
These are located on either end of the hydraulic
cylinders and on all pivot points of the lift

3 IMPORTANT: You can wash the Dingo with
mild detergent and water. Do not pressure wash
the machine. Avoid excess use of water, espe-
cially near the control panel, hydraulic pumps
and motors.
4 Service the air cleaner; refer to section on Air
Cleaner.
5 Change the crankcase oil; refer to engine man-
ual.
6 Petrol machines only; Remove the spark plugs
and check their condition; refer to section on
Spark Plugs.
7 With spark plugs removed from the engine, pour
two tablespoons of engine oil into each spark plug
hole.
8 Now use the starter to crank the engine and
distribute the oil inside the cylinder.
9 Install the spark plugs. Do not install the ignition
wire on the spark plugs.
10 Check the tyre pressure; refer to section on
Tyre Pressures.

Transporting
and Securing
IMPORTANT: Do no operate or drive Dingo
on roadways.
IMPORTANT: When transporting your
Dingo on a trailer, always use the following
procedure.
1. Never load or unload the Dingo on the
trailer unless the trailer is attached to the
vehicle.
2. Always climb the ramps with the heavy
end of the machine up hill. E.g. With heavy
attachments like the trencher or backhoe
attached to the Dingo, climb the ramps in
the forward direction. With no attachment
on the Dingo, climb the ramps in the reverse
direction.
3. The bucket, post hole digger and leveller
attachment should always be positioned in
their designated positions on the trailer. This
will help ensure that the weight is distributed
correctly on the trailer.
4. Ensure the load is positioned so that there
is more weight forward of the trailer axle than
behind the axle. Too much weight behind
the axle may cause the rear of the vehicle to
become too light.
5. Once in position on the trailer lower the
Dingo arms
6. Turn the key to Off to stop the engine.
7. Secure the machine to the trailer with
chains or straps using the tie down points on
the Dingo arms.
8. When towed by a vehicle not tted with
an electric trailer brake controller, engage the
manual breaking system by lifting the manual
override stopper on the tow coupling (single
axle trailer only).
NOTE: Do not store stabiliser/conditioned pet-
rol over 90 days.
17 Check and tighten all bolts, nuts screws.
Repair or replace any part that is damaged or
defective.
18 Store the machine in a clean, dry garage or
storage area. Remove the key from the ignition
switch and keep it in a memorable place. Cover
the machine to protect it and keep it clean.
If battery becomes at or machine is not used for
a long period, charge the battery using an exter-
nal battery charger. Disconnect battery terminals
before charging the battery. Do not rely on the
engines charging system to recharge a battery. It is
only meant to maintain charge in a good battery.
