Hand/Foot Controls
The loader may be equipped with
hand/foot controls (Figure 15).
The handles control the drive and
the foot pedals control the lift/tilt.
Drive Controls
Forward, reverse, speed and
turning maneuvers are accom-
plished by movement of the con-
trol handles. To go forward,
push both handles forward; for
reverse, pull both handles rear-
ward. For turning, move one
handle farther forward or rear-
ward than the other handle. Turn
direction is determined by which
handle is moved farther forward.
To turn left, move the right
handle farther forward than the
left handle; to turn right, move
the left handle farther forward than the right handle. For sharp turns, move the
handles in opposite directions.
Be sure the controls are in neutral before
starting the engine. Operate the controls
gradually and smoothly. Excessive speed and quick control move-
ments without regard for conditions and circumstances are haz-
ardous and could cause an accident.
Moving the handles farther from neutral increases the speed steadily to the max-
imum travel speed. Tractive effort decreases as speed increases. For maximum
tractive effort, move the handles only slightly away from the neutral positions.
The engine will stall if the handles are moved too far forward when loading the
bucket.
