3. BASIC CONTROLS:
(onboard controls)
*
The two Drive Control Levers (1 & 2) control the driving functions of
the machine. Moving the left Lever (1) forward causes the left track to
turn forward; moving the left Lever (1) back causes the left track to
turn in reverse. Moving the right Lever (2) forward causes the right track
(29) to turn forward; moving the right Lever (2) back causes the right track
(29) to turn in reverse. Moving both Levers forward at the same time causes
both tracks to turn forward and causes the machine to move forward in a
straight line; moving both Levers back at the same time causes both tracks
to turn in reverse and causes the machine to move in reverse in a straight
line.
The Mast Raise/Lower,Tilt Control Lever (5) controls the Up / Down and
Tilt movements of the Mast. To raise the Mast pull the Lever (5) back, to
lower the Mast push the Lever (5) forward. MULE MUST ALWAYS BE AT A
COMPLETE STOP BEFORE RAISING OR LOWERING THE MAST.
To tilt the Mast to the right and left, move the Lever (5) to the right and
left, respectively. THE MAST FLOAT SWITCH (7) MUST AWAYS BE IN THE "FLOAT"
POSITION WHEN ATTACHED TO AN OBJECT. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN LEAD TO
VERY DANGEROUS OPERATING CONDITIONS AND CAUSE MACHINE DAMAGE.
The Throttle (6) controls machine engine RPM. Always operate at the
lowest adequate engine RPM, but not less than 1/2 throttle.
A cylinder inside the front mast tube is used to raise and lower the T-Bar
(17) to the most advantageous position before lifting an object. The T-Bar
should always be in lowest position when not in use.
*
When operating the machine with a Wireless Remote, observe labels on Belly Pack that correspond to on board controls.

The left Thumb Switch (3) raises and lowers the T-Bar, the right
Thumb Switch (4) raises and lowers the Tail of the machine. THE TRACK FLOAT
SWITCH (36) MUST ALWAYS BE IN THE “FLOAT” POSITION WHEN MACHINE IS ATTACHED
TO AN OBJECT(i.e.: building, container, etc.).
On the top of the rear upright mast tubing (15) of non-power rotating
mast units is the mast locking pin (16). After picking up an object to be moved
and the operator wishes to turn, the handle on the locking pin needs to be
lifted and turned toward the back to unlock the mast from the center-forward
position so the machine is able to turn. ON ANY INCLINE OR WHERE TRACTION
FOR THE WHEELS IS NOT SOLID OR ADEQUATE, THE MAST MUST REMAIN
LOCKED TO PREVENT SUDDEN SIDE TO SIDE MOVEMENT THAT COULD CAUSE
INJURY OR DEATH.
When the Wireless Remote Control is turned ON, the on board controls are disabled. The
Wireless Remote Control Transmitter controls are labeled the same as the on board controls
and take over their specific function when it is ON.
