Hand & Foot Controlled Loaders (Fig. 18): To raise
the Liftarm, use your heel to push down on the rear
of
the left Foot Pedal. To lower the Liftarm, use your toe
to push down on the front
of
the left Pedal.
The right Foot Pedal controls the tilting motion
of
the
attachment. To tilt the attachment rearward, use your
heel to push down on the rear
of
the right Pedal: to tilt
the attachment forward, use your toe to push down on
the front
of
the right Pedal.
Attempt all raising and lowering functions, and com-
binations
of
the two functions before proceeding to
operate the Propulsion Control T -Bars. AL WAYS
lower the Lift Arm and roll the Bucket back before
proceeding to operate the Propulsion T-Bars.
Using both hands, slowly and smoothly move the
Propulsion Control T -Bars straight forward to travel
ahead. Then, slowly pull the T-Bars backward to "Neu-
tral" to stop forward movement. To travel backwards,
slowly and smoothly move the T-Bars straight back.
Then, return the T-Bars to the "Neutral" position to
stop reverse movement.
To Turn during Travel: Move the right T-Bar further
forward then the left to turn left. Move the left T -Bar
further forward than the right to turn right.
To Pivot: Move the right T-Bar forward and the left
T -Bar rearward to pivot to the left. Move the left T -Bar
forward and the right T-Bar rearward to pivot to the
right.
Skid Loader operating skills are only obtained through
proper coordination
of
the Loader's forward and re-
verse movements, with raising and lowering the Lift
Arm and with rolling the Bucket forward and back. To
gain proficiency, practice all Control T-Bar operations
until you are capable
of
performing the movements
without mistake or hesitation.
NOTE:
If
the Loader Engine kills while either
T-Bar
is
being operated, the T-Bar must be re-
turned
to
its "Neutral" position before the Engine
can be restarted.

BE SURE
to
lower
the
Lift
Arm
or
engage
the
Lift
Cylinder
Mechanical
Lock,
as
appropriate.
Shut
the

PARKING
BRAKE
(Figs.
16, 17, & 18)
AWARNING
Function
and
adjustment
of
the
Parking
Brake
should
be
checked
on
a
routine
basis
to
maintain
proper
operation
at
all
times.
NEVER
use
the
Parking
Brake
as
a
means
of
checking
Hydrostatic
torque
as
this
will
cause
overheating
and
accelerated
wear
of
the
Discs
and
Pads
resulting
in
early
and
unexpected
Parking
Brake
failure.
NOTE:
The
Parking Brake
is
NOT designed
for,
NOR intended
to
be used
as,
the primary means
of
stopping forward
or
reverse movement
of
the
Loader.
The
Propulsion Control T-Bar(s), when
returned
to
the "Neutral" position, provide Hydro-
static braking and are the primary means for
stopping Loader movement.
The proper sequence for correct Loader operation
is
to
always engage the Parking Brake before shutting off
the Loader Engine or to disengage the Brake ONLY
after the Engine is running and you are ready to move
the Propulsion T-Bar(s). In an EMERGENCY, when
it becomes necessary to STOP the Loader forward or
reverse movement, IMMEDIATELY, pull up on the
Parking Brake.
