PARKING BRAKE
The loader is equipped with park brakes, located inside
the torque motors. The brakes are activated and de-
activated by the seat bar, via charge pressure. When the
seat bar is in the up position, the brake is activated (Fig.
2.5A). When the seat bar is in the down position, the
brake is off (Fig. 2.5B).
The loader has a parking brake indication light to warn
that the brake is engaged. (See section 2.1).

THROTTLE CONTROL
The diesel engine throttle control, is a push / pull / turn to
lock, located on the left hand side of the loader next to the
steering control lever (Fig. 2.6) Engine start and stop are
controlled electrically by the ignition key.
Before shutting off the engine, return the throttle control
to idle position and allow the engine to cool at least
2 minutes.
Pulling upward, out, will increase engine speed.
Turn the handle to lock. Turn the handle to release
from position, push down to lower engine speed.
The engine should always be operated at full speed
and the loader travel speed controlled with the
steering control levers. (See Section 2.8).
To avoid personal injury,
lower the lift arms, shut off
the engine, raise the seat bar
and cycle the lift arm and
bucket controls to ensure
they are locked. Then,
unlatch the seat belt and exit
the loader. Do not enter or
exit with the engine running
unless as specified in this
manual or under specific
service and backhoe
operating procedures.
