NOTE:
The lever MUST be in N (Neutral) position
before the starter will engage to start the engine.
IMPORTANT:
Care should be taken when chang-
ing direction, because damage to the hydrostatic
transmission can occur if shifting is forced or
attempted at too high a speed. Allow machine
speed to slow before any directional change is
attempted.
NOTE:
Backup alarm automatically sounds with
travel lever in reverse.
Steering
The power steering system is designed to provide low-
effort steering without shock reaction from the axle
wheels to the steering wheel. Turn the steering wheel
to the right or left to turn the machine in that direction.
FLOOR AND SEAT AREA
Throttle Pedal:
This is right-foot operated and con-
trols the engine speed to match increased power
requirements. Pushing down on the pedal increases the
RPM; letting up on the pedal decreases RPM.
Service Brake Pedal and Transmission Cut-off:
Pressing the brake pedal hydraulically activates the
internal braking mechanism in the front axle. During
initial brake pedal travel and as the brake pedal is
pressed farther, power to the transmission is progres-
sively cut off. This allows faster engine speeds at slow-
er operating speeds while maintaining power to the
hydraulic system.
Seat Positioning:
The seat is mounted on rails for for-
ward and rearward repositioning to accommodate the
operator’s size. A spring-
loaded latch handle under
the front of the seat activates
the adjustment mechanism.
Suspension Seat (option-
al):
In addition to the “A”
latch handle for forward and
rearward adjustment, this
seat has a knob “B” under
the front of the seat to adjust
the suspension. Turn the
knob to the right for a softer ride, and to the left for a
firmer ride.
Seat Belt:
This machine has a retractable seat belt.
Grasp the belt on the left side of the seat pulling the
belt over your lap and inserting the belt into the buck-
le on the right side of the seat until you hear it lock in
place.
RIGHT SIDE PANEL
These controls are used to position the boom and
attachment. Graphic symbols indicate the control
actions.
Boom Control Joystick:
This machine has a
hydraulic-type telescopic boom. The boom section
extends by means of a hydraulic cylinder inside the
boom.
To extend the boom, move the joystick handle to the
right; to retract the boom, move the joystick handle to
the left. To raise the boom, move the joystick handle
rearward; to lower the boom, move the joystick handle
forward.
