Steer Select:
Use “2-wheel mode” for higher speed
travel. Use “4-wheel mode” for making tighter turns,
usually on jobsite. Use “crab mode” when a small
amount of side shift is needed for picking or placing
loads. Any mode can be used in forward or reverse
travel.
NOTE:
The rear wheels are not self-centering.
Make sure all wheels are in a straight ahead posi-
tion before changing the selector mode.
Any of the steering position modes can be used in for-
ward or reverse travel. The operator should learn to
anticipate changes in machine movement if the steer-
ing selector mode must be changed.
Parking Brake: Functions as both a parking brake and
emergency brake. The parking brake handle is linked
by a cable to a brake assembly on the transmission out-
put shaft.
To adjust the tension, insert a flat blade screw driver
through the hole in the top of the hand grip on the
brake lever, and turn the screw until a pull effort of 20
lbs. (89 N) is achieved on the hand lever.
The parking brake may be used as an emergency stop-
ping system on relatively level terrain should the ser-
vice brakes fail. When properly adjusted and main-
tained it meets ANSI test requirements providing 35%
of service brake performance at 20 lb. (89 N) hand
lever effort.
Travel Direction Selector:
Changes the direction of
travel between forward and reverse. The
selector MUST be in N (NEUTRAL)
position before the engine will start.
Position
“F”
(FORWARD)
Position
“N”
(NEUTRAL)
Position “R” (REVERSE)
NOTE:
Backup alarm automatically sounds with
travel lever in reverse.
IMPORTANT:
Care should be taken when
downshifting or reversing as damage to the trans-
mission can occur if shifting is forced or attempt-
ed at too high a speed. Allow engine RPM to slow
before any shift down or directional change is
attempted.
NOTE:
Later models have the direction selector
and speed range selector combined in one lever.
This lever is located off the steering column
directly below the steering wheel. The direction
selector operation is the same on all models.
Speed Range Selector on early models: This lever,
located on the dash to the left of the steering column,
changes the transmission speed between low, medium,
and high range.
3 (HIGH) - Forward or Up
2 (MEDIUM) - Center position
1 (LOW) - Back or Down
Speed Range Selector on later models: Twist the
outer end of the direction selector counter-clockwise or
clockwise to change the transmission speed between
low, medium, and high range.
Position “3” HIGH RANGE
Position
“2”
MEDIUM RANGE
Position “1” LOW RANGE
Adjustable Steering Wheel if equipped:
On later
models the steering wheel can be adjusted to one of
five positions for operator comfort. Push the small
black handle on the left side of the steering console and
re-position the steering wheel. Release the handle to
lock in place.

WARNING
Unattended machine hazard.
Set parking brake and lower attachment tool
to ground before leaving machine. An unat-
tended machine can move or roll and cause
death or serious injury to operator or
bystanders.
Periodically check the parking brake tension
and adjust, if required, to maintain adequate
holding power. Always be sure the parking
brake lever is off when resuming machine
operation.
