CAUTION
BE
SURE
the
area
being
used
for
test-running
is
clear
of
spectators
and
obstructions.
For
the
first
time,
operate
the
Loader
with
an
empty
Bucket.
Smoothest and most efficient Loader operation is
achieved while running the Engine at half-throttle.
Make sure the Engine is warm and then, follow instruc-
tions appropriate for your type
of
Loader.
T-Bar Controlled Loaders (Fig. 17): Using your right
hand, slowly and smoothly pull straight back on the
Lift/Tilt Control T-Bar to raise the Lift Arm. Twist the
T-Bar to roll the Bucket forward or back. Attempt all
raising and lowering functions, and combinations
of
the two functions before proceeding to operate the
Propulsion Control T-Bar. ALWAYS lower the Lift
Arm and roll the Bucket back
BEFORE
proceeding to
operate the Propulsion T-Bar.
Using your left hand, slowly and smoothly move the
Propulsion Control T-Bar straight forward to travel
ahead. Then, slowly pull the T-Bar backward to "Neu-
tral" to stop forward movement.
To
travel backwards,
slowly and smoothly move the T-Bar straight back.
Then, return the Propulsion Control T -
Bar
to the "Neu-
tral" position to stop reverse movement. Next, twist the
Propulsion T-Bar slowly clockwise to turn right and
counterclockwise to turn left. Attempt all forward,
reverse and turning movements before proceeding to
operate both T -Bars at the same time.
