NOTE: Moving the handles equally in the same direc-
tion will result in travelling straight forward or straight
backward.
FORWARD TRAVEL
Push both levers (Figure 3-2) straight forward, slowly the
same distance.
REVERSE TRAVEL
Pull both levers straight backward, slowly the same distance.
TURNING DURING TRAVEL
Move one lever farther than the other one. To turn left while
moving forward, move the right lever farther forward; to turn
right while moving forward, move the left lever farther for-
ward.
PIVOTING
Move the levers in opposite directions to pivot the machine
on its axis. To pivot left, move the right lever farther forward
while pulling the left lever to the rear; to pivot right, move
the left lever forward while pulling the right lever to the rear.
The boom and bucket are controlled by the right- and left-
hand levers on the seat consoles (Figure 3-3).
The superstructure or “house” is slewed (swung) by moving
the left-hand lever left or right (Figure 3-4).
The boom can be slewed (swung) without moving the cab by
pressing the auxiliary hydraulics pedal left or right (Figure 3-
5) while pressing the boom swing switch on the left-hand
control lever.
The boom and bucket are moved using the right-hand control
lever. The button located on the right-hand lever sounds the
horn (Figure 3-3).
The dozer is controlled by the dozer lever (Figure 3-2).
WARNING
Levers and controls should return to neutral
position when released. Be sure the levers and
controls are in the neutral (middle) position
before starting the engine. Operate lever con-
trols gradually and smoothly. Excessive speed
and quick handle movements without regard
for conditions and circumstances is hazardous
and could cause an accident.
