2. 5 THROTTLE CONTROL
The diesel engine throttle control, is the lever located on
the left hand side of the loader next to the steering control
lever (Fig. 2. 5A) Engine start and stop are controlled
electrically by the ignition key. (FIG. 2. 5B)
Before shutting off the engine, return the throttle control to
idle position and allow the engine to cool at least 2
minutes. Pushing the lever full forward increases the
engine speed to maximum high idle. Pulling the lever back
decreases the engine RPM.
The engine should always be operated at full speed and the
loader travel speed controlled with the steering control
levers. (See section 2. 7)
2. 6 LIFT ARM SUPPORTS
For safety while performing regular service or
maintenance work, the loader is equipped with lift arm
supports.
The lift arm supports, when extended, prevent the lift arms
from dropping if hydraulic pressure is relieved or the foot
control pedals are accidentally cycled.
To operate the lift arm supports, first remove any bucket or
attachment from the quick-tach; raise the lift arms to full
height and shut OFF the engine. Raise the lift arm support
handles (Fig. 2. 6A) up and push out toward lift arms to
extend the lift arm supports. (Fig. 2. 6B)
Fully retract the lift arm
supports before raising
or lowering lift arms.
