Do not park on a slope. If necessary to park on a slope,
park across the grade, engage the parking brake, ground
the attachment and block the wheels.
2. 5 THROTTLE CONTROL
The throttle control is mounted next to the operators seat
When the throttle control is set fully back the engine is at
idle speed. Moving the control forward increases the
engine speed. The machine should always be operated
with the throttle fully open.
Before shutting off the engine, return the throttle control to
idle position and allow the engine to cool at least 2
minutes. (See Fig. 2. 5).
2. 6 STEERING CONTROLS
The two steering levers control speed, direction, and
turning the loader. The R.H. lever controls the wheels on
the R.H. side of the loader and the L.H. lever the L.H.
wheels. Loader speed is controlled by the amount each
lever is moved from centre or neutral position. (Fig. 2 6A)
The further away from neutral the faster the travel speed.
For maximum travel speed, move the control levers full
forward or rearward for reverse. For maximum power,
move the control levers only a small amount.
To drive the loader forward in a straight line, move both
control levers forward the same amount (Fig. 2. 6B).
2 CONTROLS
To prevent possible
damage to the drive
chain, do not engage the
parking brake while the
machine is in motion.
IMPORTANT
To avoid personal injury
do not start the engine
unless you are in the seat
with the seat belt
fastened around you.
