2. 7 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 controls the
wheels on the left hand side of the loader. The loader speed
is controlled by the amount each lever is moved from
centre or neutral position. (Fig. 2. 7A) The further away
from neutral the faster the travel speed. For maximum
power and slow travel speed 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. 7B)
To drive the loader in reverse in a straight line, move both
control levers back the same amount (Fig. 2. 7B). The
loader is turned by moving one lever further forward than
the other. To turn right move the left lever further than the
right lever, to turn left move the right lever further than the
left lever. For the loader to turn or “skid-steer” within its
own length, one lever is moved forward and the other
back. This causes the wheels on one side to turn forward
and the wheels on the other side to reverse turning the
loader. (Fig. 2. 7B)
2.8 HAND CONTROLS (OPTIONAL)
Hand controls to operate the loaders lift arm and bucket
hydraulic system as well as the loaders travel speed and
direction are available. Refer to section 2. 7 for instruction
on steering controls.
