STOPPING THE LOADER
The following procedure is the recommended se-
quence for stopping the Loader:

Check that Propulsion Control T-Bar(s) are in the
"Neutral" position.
2.
Using the Lift/Tilt Control, lower the Lift Arm and
rest the Attachment on the ground.
3.
Pull the Throttle Lever back to the Idle position
(and/or take
your
foot
off
the Accelerator Pedal
for
T-Bar controlled machines).
4.
Turn the Keyswitch Key
to
the
Off
position
to
shut
the Engine off.
5.

unlatch the Seat Belt and grasp the Handles while

the Operator's Compartment.
AWARNING
The
Parking
Brake
MUST
BE
engaged
anytime
the Loader is parked on a grade. If
the Parking Brake
is
NOT
set, the Loader
can
start
to
roll
because
of
minimal
resistance in the
Hydrostatic
Drive Motors.
Failure to heed could result in death or
serious injury.
