tor MUST be in N (Neutral) position before the engine
will start.
Position “F” (FORWARD)
Position “N” (NEUTRAL)
Position
“R”
(REVERSE)
NOTE:
Backup alarm automatically sounds with
travel lever in reverse.
IMPORTANT:
Care should be taken when
downshifting or reversing as damage to the trans-
mission can occur if shifting is forced or attempt-
ed at too high a speed. Allow engine RPM to slow
before any down shift or directional change is
attempted.
Speed Range Selector:
Twist this lever counter clock-
wise or clockwise to change the transmission speed
between low and travel range.

Position “2” MEDIUM RANGE
Position “1” LOW RANGE
FLOOR & SEAT AREA
Throttle Pedal: This is right-foot operated and con-
trols the engine RPM to match increased power
requirements. Pushing down on the pedal increases the
RPM. Letting up on the pedal decreases RPM.
Service Brake Pedal: Depressing this pedal hydrauli-
cally activates the internal braking mechanism of the
front and rear axles to all four wheels.
Clutch Dump Pedal: Depressing this pedal activates a
switch which allows greater engine acceleration and
power to the hydraulic system, without power to the
drive axles, while maintaining service brake pressure.
The right (service brake) pedal only keeps the trans-
mission engaged while applying brake force to stop the
engine. The left (clutch dump) pedal automatically
depresses the right pedal while disengaging the clutch
mechanism. The transmission remains in gear. Normal
brake force holds the machine in position while accel-
erating the engine to power hydraulic control functions
during load handling placement.
Brake Fluid Reservoirs: Lift the hinged cover to
check the levels.
Seat Positioning:
The seat is mounted on rails for for-
ward or backward repositioning to accommodate oper-
ator’s size and comfort. A spring-loaded latch handle
under the front of the seat activates the adjustment
mechanism.
RIGHT SIDE PANEL
These controls and indicators are used to position the
frame, boom, and attachment. Graphic symbols on the
side panel illustrate the control actions.
Frame Level Joystick:
The machine may be tilted
slowly 10
o
to the left or right to level the frame and
boom in relation to the ground. Position the lever to the
left to tilt to the left. Position the lever to the right to
tilt to the right.
Bubble Indicator: Located in front of the operator on
the ROPS upper cross tube, movement of the bubble
shows when the frame is at level position relative to
slopping ground surface.
Boom Control Joystick: This machine has a hydraulic
type boom with one telescopic section. This section
extend by means of a hydraulic cylinder.
To RAISE the boom, move the joystick REARWARD.
To LOWER the boom, move the joystick FORWARD.
Depress the rocker switch on the handle top RIGHT to
EXTEND the boom. Depress the switch LEFT to
RETRACT the boom. When the boom is raised,
extended or retracted; speed of operation is a function
of engine speed. The higher the engine RPM, the faster
the boom will move.
This joystick also controls the tilt position of the
attachment on the inner section nose. Move the joy-
stick RIGHT to tilt the attachment FORWARD. Move
the joystick LEFT to tilt the attachment REARWARD.
Once the operator tilts the attachment tool to a desired
angle, that angle will be maintained as the boom is

WARNING
DO NOT attempt to correct the frame level
condition with the boom raised or extended.
Only level the machine while at complete stop
with the boom fully retracted and the attach-
ment raised just enough to clear the ground.
