Loader Arm/Attachment-Tilt Lever
•
To tilt the attachment forward, slowly move the
lever to the right (
Figure 10 ).
•
To tilt the attachment rearward, slowly move the
lever to the left (
Figure 10 ).
•
To lower the loader arms, slowly move the lever
forward (
Figure 10 ).
•
To raise the loader arms, slowly move the lever
rearward (
Figure 10 ).
•
To lower the loader arms to a detent (float)
position, push the lever fully forward (
Figure 10 ).
Note:
This allows attachments such as the leveler
and the hydraulic blade to follow the contours of
the ground (i.e., float) when grading.

By moving the lever to an intermediate position (e.g.,
forward and left), you can move the loader arms and
tilt the attachment at the same time.
Loader-Valve Lock
The loader-valve lock secures the loader
arm/attachment-tilt lever so that you cannot push it
forward. This helps to ensure that no one accidentally
lowers the loader arms during maintenance. Secure
the loader arms with the lock anytime you need to
shut off the machine with the loader arms raised.
To set the lock, lift up on it so that it clears the hole in
the control panel and swing it to the left, in front of
the loader-arm lever, pushing it down into the locked
position (
Figure 11 ).

lever (
