of ether starting fluid, used for engine starting in cold
weather.
C - Strobe Light: When a stobe light is installed on the
machine, activating this switch will produce a strobe
light on and off flashing, for working in conditions that
may obscure view of the machine.
Heater Controls
Temperature Control: This is the upper knob located
to the left of the steering wheel. This knob is used to
adjust the temperature output of the heater. Turning the
knob clockwise will increase the temperature output of
the cab heater.
Fan Speed: This knob is located below the tempera-
ture control knob. Rotating the knob clockwise will
increase the fan speed for increased air circulation.
Travel Lever
Located on the left side of the steering wheel column,
this lever is used to change travel direction (forward or
reverse) and speed.
Travel Direction: The lever MUST be in “N”
(Neutral) position before the starter will engage to start
the engine.
NOTE: Backup alarm automatically sounds with
travel lever in “R” (Reverse).
Position “F” (Forward)
Position “N” (Neutral)
Position “R” (Reverse)
Speed Range: Twisting the lever end clockwise or
counter-clockwise will change the transmission speed
between low, medium and travel ranges.
Position “3” (Travel Range)
Position “2” (Medium Range)
Position “1” (Low Range)
IMPORTANT: Care should be taken when down-
shifting or changing direction, because damage to
the transmission can occur if shifting is forced or
attempted at too high a speed. Allow engine
speed to slow before any downshift or directional
change is attempted.
Steering

machine in that direction.The power steering system is
designed to provide low-effort steering without shock
reaction from the tires to the steering wheel.

ments. Pushing down on the pedal increases engine
