6. Brake Pedal (Right and Left Pedals)
Pressing brake pedal will apply the brakes to the
loader. The brake pedal modes can be switched from
"INCHING" to "NO INCHING" or vice versa, by using
the transmission cutoff switch (See page 2-36).
7. Steering Wheel
Rotating steering wheel controls position of front wheels
and this determines direction of machine travel.
8. Kick-down Switch (Two places)
When transmission is in 2nd gear, pressing this switch
will shift transmission into 1st gear. This will allow the
driver to perform a quick digging movement.
NOTE: Kick-down is "RELEASED" when transmission
is placed in "NEUTRAL" position or the switch is
pressed again.
Kick-down function range:
• Automatic: 2nd, 3rd, 4th.
• Manual: 2nd.

CAUTION!
When descending down an incline, slow down the
machine by using both the brake pedal and the
engine as a brake by shifting the transmission to a
lower gear. Using the brake pedal too often might
lead to insufficient oil pressure, thus making it
difficult to brake the loader.
IMPORTANT
Do not use brake pedal as a foot rest. This will
cause brake disk to wear faster than normal, and
this could cause brake failure.
