Hand throttle lever for pump RPM 

control 

 

The position of the Hand throttle lever controls only 
the RPM of the auxiliary hydraulics system. Position 
of this lever will not affect drive speed or pulling 
force. The drive system works independently from 
the other hydraulic circuits that are controlled with 
the hand throttle lever. 

As the hand throttle lever controls the output of 
hydraulic flow, this will also influence the speed of a 
hydraulically driven attachment. In general, the more 
throttle, the faster the attachment operates. Make 
sure not to exceed max. allowed oil flow of the 
attachment, see Auxiliary hydraulics oil flow on page 
27. 

 

Push the lever forward to increase rpm of 
hydraulic pumps and increase auxiliary 
hydraulics oil flow 

 

Pull backward to reduce rpm of hydraulic pumps 
and to decrease auxiliary hydraulics oil flow 

 

 

 

The position of the Hand throttle 
lever will not affect driving 
speed or pulling force.

 

Keep the hand throttle lever set to 
a low rpm setting to conserve 
energy. 

Use the hand control lever as 
needed when using the loader 
boom or operating a hydraulically 
operated attachment. 

The electric motors run when the ignition key is 
switched to ON position, and when the operator is 
seated on driver's seat, or other operating mode is 
selected. See more information about the operating 
mode on page  54. 

 

The auxiliary hydraulics pump will also provide 
pressure for the release of the parking brake, and to 
flush the drive circuit. This is why the auxiliary 
hydraulics pump will operate whenever the loader is 
ready to be driven. However, to conserve battery 
energy, adjust the speed of the pump to a minimum 
setting whenever not actively using a hydraulic 
attachment. 

 

6.

 

Attachment control switch pack 

(optional extra) 

 

 

If your loader is equipped with 
the optional attachment control 
switch pack, the electric 
functions of an attachment can 
be controlled with the extra 
buttons fitted on the joystick. 

 

Check the operator's manual of the attachment to 
see how to control each attachment. 

 

When the loader is equipped with the Attachment 
control switch pack, the Multi connector (see page 
65) includes also an electric socket, so that the 
hydraulic hoses and the electric cable of an 
attachment with electric function(s) can be coupled 
simultaneously with the multi connector system.
