speed and direction are relatively constant and
control is easily maintained. The neutral assist off

lever in the off position requires the operator to
manually return the SDLA control lever or foot
pedal to the neutral position.
Auxiliary Hydraulic Quick Couplers (P)
The two couplers are a part of the auxiliary hydrau-
lic circuit and are used with an attachment which
