2. 8 STEERING CONTROLS
The two steering levers control speed, direction and
turning of the loader. The R.H. lever controls the wheels
on the R.H. side of the loader and the L.H. lever the L.H.
wheels. Loader speed is controlled by the amount each
lever is moved from centre or neutral position. (Fig. 2.8A)
The further away from neutral, the faster the travel speed.
For maximum power and slow travel speed move the
control levers only a small amount.
To drive the loader forward in a straight line, move both
control levers forward the same amount (Fig. 2.8B).
To drive the loader in reverse in a straight line, move both
control levers back the same amount (Fig. 2.8B).
The loader is turned by moving one lever further forward
than the other. To turn right, move the left lever further
than the right lever. To turn left, move the right lever
further than the left lever (Fig. 2.8B).
For the loader to turn or “skid-steer” within its own
length, one lever is moved forward and the other back.
This causes the wheels on one side to turn forward and the
wheels on the other side to reverse, turning the loader (Fig.
2.8B).
To avoid personal injury
always carry the load
low.
WARNING
Return the auxiliary
hydraulic foot pedal to
neutral position when not
in use.
