Flow divider control
Move flow divider control to twelve-o’clock
position (normal operating position, as pictured) for
no flow division. When moving control to nine-
o’clock position, flow is diverted to the attachments
and less is available to the wheels and loader arms.
This allows for greater concentration of power
where it’s needed most.
9 O’clock position
12 O’clock position
Starting and stopping the Engine
Starting
Stand on the platform.
Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever to neutral.
Attention
Ensure auxiliary hydraulic lever is in neutral position before starting engine. Aside
from starting difficulties it may cause the attachment may move during starting.
1. Follow instructions on starting engine as detailed in the engine manufacturers
manual.
Stopping
Move the throttle lever to “slow”.
Lower loader arms to the ground.
Turn the ignition key to off.
Note: If the engine has been working hard or is hot, let it idle for a minute before
turning the ignition key “OFF”. This helps cool the engine before it is stopped. In an
emergency, turning the ignition key to “OFF” will stop the engine.
Driving forward or backward
The throttle control regulates the engine speed as measured in rpm (revolutions per
minute). Place the throttle control in the “fast” position for best performance.
Note: Throttle position can be utilised to operate at slower speeds.
Forward
To go forward, slowly push the drive control levers forward.
To go straight, apply equal pressure to both drive control levers.
To turn, decrease pressure on the drive control lever closest to the direction you want
to turn.
The farther you move the drive control levers in either direction, the faster the
machine will move in that direction.
To slow or stop, move or release the drive control levers into neutral. (If released the
control levers should automatically return to neutral).
