HAND & FOOT CONTROLLED LOADERS
with
MECHANICAL AUXILIARY HYDRAULICS (Fig. 5-4)
Handles on the skid loader control the drive (hydrostatic) functions. The foot pedals control the lift/tilt (hydraulic)
functions.
Drive Control Handles
NOTE: Moving the handles equally in the same
direction will result in traveling straight forward
or
straight backward.
Forward Travel: Push both handles straight forward,
slowly in the same direction.
Reverse Travel: Pull both handles straight backward,
slowly in the same direction.
Turning during Travel: Move one handle farther
forward or rearward than the other handle. Turn
direction is determined by which handle is moved the
farthest forward; to turn left, move the right handle
farther forward than the left handle.
Fast Turning (Pivoting): Move the handles in opposite
directions. Direction of travel is determined by which
handle is moved forward; left handle forward turns the
loader to the right, right handle forward turns the loader
to the left.
Mechanical Auxiliary Hydraulic Control: Rotate the
right handle up to activate the auxiliary hydraulics.
Rotate the handle down to reverse the hydraulics. To
lock the handle in the up direction, slide the pin in the
side of the handle up.
WARNING
BE SURE the handles are in “neutral” BEFORE
starting the engine. Operate handle controls
gradually and smoothly. Excessive speed and
quick handle movements without regard for
conditions and circumstances is hazardous
and could cause an accident.
Lift/Tilt Foot Pedals
Attachment Travel: The right foot pedal controls the
tilting motion of the attachment. To tilt the attachment
rearward, use your heel to push down on the rear of the
right pedal; to tilt the attachment forward, use your toes
to push down on the front of the right pedal.
Lift Arm Travel: The left foot pedal controls the
raising and lowering motion of the lift arm.
To raise the lift arm, use your heel to push down on
the rear of the left foot pedal.
To lower the lift arm, use your toes to push down
on the front of the left pedal.
The system control valve lift spool has a detent circuit
allowing the lowered lift arm to “float” while traveling
over changing ground conditions. To place the lift arm
in the detent (float) position, use your toes to push the
left foot pedal all the way down, past the detent.
WARNING
NEVER push the left foot pedal into the “float”
position with the bucket or attachment loaded
or raised, because this will cause the lift arm to
lower rapidly.
NOTE: The speed of lift/tilt motion is directly
proportional to the amount of foot pedal movement
and engine RPM.
