Hand/Foot Controls
The loader may be equipped with
hand/foot controls (Figure 11). The con-
trol grips control the drive and the foot
pedals control the lift/tilt.
Drive Controls
Forward, reverse, speed and turning
maneuvers are accomplished by movement
of the control grips. To go forward, push
both control grips forward; for reverse,
pull both control grips rearward. For
turning, move one control grip farther for-
ward or rearward than the other control
grip. Turn direction is determined by
which control grip is moved farther for-
ward. To turn left, move the right control grip farther forward than the left control
grip; to turn right, move the left control grip farther forward than the right control
grip. For sharp turns, move the control grips in opposite directions.
Moving the control grips farther from neutral increases the speed steadily to the
maximum travel speed. Tractive effort decreases as speed increases. For maximum
tractive effort, move the control grips only slightly away from the neutral positions.
The engine will stall if the control grips are 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 Controls
Moving the lift arm and tilting the attachment are accomplished by movement of
the foot pedals. The left pedal raises and lowers the lift arm; the right pedal tilts
the attachment. To raise the lift arm, push down on the back of the left pedal with
your left heel; to lower the lift arm, push down on the front of the left pedal with
the toes of your left foot. To tilt the attachment forward and down, push down
on the front of the right pedal with the toes of your right foot; to tilt the attach-
ment up and back, push down on the back of the right pedal with your right
heel.
Note: The speed of the lift/tilt motion is directly proportional to the amount of
pedal movement and engine speed.
To place the lift arm in the detent (“float”) position, use your toes to push the left
pedal all the way down into the detent. This position allows the lowered lift arm
to “float” while traveling over changing ground conditions.
