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 2-34).
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.
