Bobcat 743 - Hydraulic Controls

HYDRAULIC CONTROLS
Foot Pedals (Hydraulic)
Always keep feet on the foot pedal
controls while operating the Bobcat
loader.
Put your feet on the pedals and KEEP THEM THERE any time you operate the loader
(Fig. 14).
Two foot pedals control the hydraulic
cylinders for the tilt function and the lift
arms (Fig. 15, Item 1).
Lift Arm Operation
The left pedal controls the lift arms.
Pushing
on the bottom (heel) of the
pedal raises the lift arms (Fig. 15, Item
2). Pushing on the top (toe) of pedal
lowers the lift arms (Fig. 15, Item 3).
Float Position
Fig. 15 Drive & Hydraulic Controls
Pushing the top (toe) of the lift pedal (Fig. 15, Item 3) all the way forward until the
pedal is in locked position puts the lift arms in a "float" position. The bucket will
follow the ground as the loader moves backward.
Tilt (Bucket) Operation
The right pedal controls the tilting action of the Bob-Tach (Example: When using
attachments such as buckets and forks). Push the top (toe) of the pedal to tilt the
Bob-Tach forward (Fig. 15, Item 4). Push the bottom (heel) of the pedal to tilt the
Bob-Tach backward (Fig. 15, Item 5).
