T-Bar Controls
The loader may be equipped with T-bar
controls (Figure 10). The left T-bar con-
trols the drive and the right T-bar controls
the lift/tilt.
Drive Controls
Forward, reverse, speed and turning
maneuvers are accomplished by move-
ment of the left T-bar. To go forward,
push the control forward; for reverse, pull
the control rearward. To turn right, turn
the control clockwise; to turn left, turn the
control counterclockwise. For gradual turns, move the T-bar slightly forward or
rearward. For sharp turns, turn the control clockwise or counterclockwise.
Moving the T-bar farther from neutral increase the speed steadily to the max-
imum travel speed. Tractive effort decreases as speed increases. To get maximum
tractive effort, move the T-bar only slightly away from the neutral position. The
engine will stall if the control is moved too far forward when loading the bucket.
Be sure the controls are in neutral before
starting the engine. Operate the controls grad-
ually and smoothly. Excessive speed and quick control movements
without regard for conditions and circumstances are hazardous and
could cause an accident.
Lift/Tilt Control
Moving the lift arm and tilting the attachment are accomplished by movement of
the right T-bar. To raise the lift arm, pull the control straight rearward; to lower
the lift arm, push the control straight forward. To tilt the attachment forward
and downward, twist the control clockwise; to tilt the attachment up and
back, twist the control counterclockwise..
Note: The speed of the lift/tilt motion is directly proportional to the amount of
T-Bar movement and engine speed.
To place the lift arm into the detent (“float”) position, push the right T-Bar all the
way forward into the detent. This position allows the lowered lift arm to “float”
while traveling over changing ground conditions.
Never push the right control handle fully for-
ward to detent the float control with the attach-
ment raised, because this will cause the lift arm to lower very
rapidly.
