PRINTED IN U.S.A. 31 50960025/CP0514
Auxiliary Hydraulics Control: This two-position
lever is for attachment tools that require additional
hydraulics.
Tri-Function Joystick Configuation
Tri-Function Joystick: This joystick handle is
equipped with two yellow buttons and two blue but-
tons on the upper rear of the handle, and a trigger
switch on the front of the handle. The yellow buttons
operate the attachment tilt. The blue buttons operate
the auxiliary hydraulics. The trigger switch increases
the function speed of both the attachment tilt and aux-
iliary hydraulics.
To extend the boom, move the joystick right; to retract
the boom, move the joystick to the left. To raise the
boom, move the joystick rearward; to lower the boom,
move the joystick forward.
To tilt the attachment tool up, depress and hold the
lower yellow button on the left side of the joystick han-
dle. To tilt the attachment tool down, depress and hold
the upper yellow button on the left side of the joystick
handle.
To operate the auxiliary attachment hydraulics, depress
and hold either the upper or lower blue button on the
right side of the joystick handle. The upper blue button
will cause the reverse effect of the lower blue button.
Depressing and holding the trigger on the front side of
the joystick handle will increase the speed of the
attachment tilt and auxiliary hydraulic functions.
NOTE: The joystick handle does not need to be
moved to operate the tilt or auxiliary hydraulic
functions.
Speed Control Knobs: The tri-function joystick incor-
porates a manually adjusted speed control. Speed
adjustment is accomplished by manual adjustment of
the pilot-pressure apply valves located on the top rear
of the hydraulic reservoir under the access cover on the
front hood section.
If the machine is equipped with auxiliary hydraulics,
there will be two pilot-pressure apply valves, each hav-
ing two speed-control knobs. The right pilot valve con-
trols the auxiliary hydraulics, and the left pilot valve
controls the attachment tilt function. On the attachment
tilt pilot valve, the left knob controls the attachment
tilt-back speed, and the right knob controls the attach-
ment tilt-forward speed. On the auxiliary hydraulic
pilot valve, the function of the knobs will depend on
the type of attachment requiring auxiliary hydraulics.
Turning a knob clockwise will increase the speed of its
associated function. Turning a knob counter-clockwise
will decrease the speed of its associated function.
NOTE: There is a locking knob located forward of
the adjusting knob, which must be loosened
before the adjusting knob can be turned. After
adjustment has been made, tighten the locking
knob to maintain the selected speed.

WARNING
For maximum machine stability, never lower
the outriggers so that the tires come com-
pletely off the ground.
Do not use outriggers on soft or uneven sur-
faces. Be sure the surface can support the
machine and load.
Be sure NO persons or equipment are where
the outrigger pads will be positioned.
DO NOT travel with the outriggers extended
under any circumstances.
Adequate clearance is required for the outrig-
gers in the retracted position when traveling
through doorways or narrow pathways.
DO NOT attempt to use outriggers as a
hydraulic jack for maintenance or frame level-
ing or other similar uses.
Failure to heed could result in death or seri-
ous injury.
