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.
