Drive Controls
Forward, reverse, speed and
turning maneuvers are accom-
plished by movement of the left
joystick. To go
forward , push
the drive control forward; for
reverse , pull the control rear-
ward. To turn right , push the
control right; to turn left , push
the control left. To go forward
and left , move the control forward and left. To go forward and right , move the
control forward and right. To move back and left , move the control back and to
the right. To move back and right , move the control back and to the left.
Be sure the joystick controls are in neutral
before starting the engine. Operate the con-
trols gradually and smoothly. Excessive speed and quick control
movements without regard for conditions and circumstances are
hazardous and could cause an accident.
Moving the joystick farther from neutral increases the speed steadily to the max-
imum travel speed. Tractive effort decreases as speed increases. For maximum
tractive effort, move the joystick only slightly away from the neutral position.
The engine may stall if the control is moved too far forward when loading the
bucket.
