the lift, tilt, auxiliary hydraulics, and traction functions can
be operated. The seat belt must be fastened anytime you
operate the machine.

When operating the machine:
• Keep the seat belt fastened snugly.
• The seat bar must be lowered.
• Keep your feet on the pedal controls or footrests
and hands on the controls.

the parking brake is released, the lift, tilt, auxiliary
hydraulics, and traction drive functions can
