Lift Arm Float
Make sure the attachment is lowered to the ground
before activating the lift arm float. Activating float
with the lift arm raised will cause the lift arm and attachment to fall to the
ground, which can cause severe injury or death.
.The float mode
can be used
where the engine has stopped, is
unable to be started, and lowering
the lift arm is necessary to allow the
operator to exit the loader.
Float allows the lowered lift arm to follow the
ground contour while traveling over changing
ground conditions.
To activate lift arm float:
On T-Bar Controls
1. Lower the attachment to the ground.
2. Push Right T-Bar (B) all the way forward
(Figure 27) into the detent (“float”) position.
This position allows the lowered lift arm to
“float” while traveling over changing ground
conditions.
3. To remove lift arm from the detent (“float”)
position, pull the Right T-Bar (B) out of the
detent position. This returns the lift arm to
normal operation.
On Joystick Controls
1. Lower the attachment to the ground.
2. Press button (A, Figure 35) to activate float:
• Press button (A) momentarily to apply float
momentarily.
• Press and hold button (A) for 5 seconds to
activate continuous float. Press button (A)
again to deactivate continuous float.
The float indicator ( ) on the control pad is lit
when float is activated on Joystick Control types.
On Hand and Foot Controls
1. Lower the attachment to the ground
