H control pattern lift arm and bucket controls

Lift arm raise/lower control

93109347C 1


The left-hand control lever (1) controls the lift arm.The lift arm will raise by pivoting the handle UP tothe outside of the cab. Pivoting the handle DOWNto the inside of the cab will lower the lift arm.

The lift arm spool is equipped with a detentedFLOAT circuit if the operator wants the lift armto float over changing ground contour. To put thevalve in FLOAT position, pivot the handle DOWNuntil a slight jump is felt. In this position, thehandle is locked in float and does not return to theneutral position unassisted, but will do so when lightpressure is applied to the handle to pivot it UP. BS06H186B 2

All steering and travel controls are directed with the left hand control drive lever (1) only. Use the face of a clock fororientation. The machine will move in the direction the lever is moved from neutral, center. Release the lever and itwill detent to neutral. Although the machine will turn and counter-turn sharply, it is best to travel through forward orreverse gradually when turning.

NOTE: Adjust the seat lap bar for maximum stability of controls and to reduce operator fatigue.

Straight forward drive:

Push the control lever straight forward(12:00 position) and the machine will move forward.

Straight rearward drive:

Pull the control lever straight rearward, 6:00 position and the machine will move rearward.

Left turn steering:

From forward travel push the control lever to the 11:00 position and the machine will begin to travel left. Movethe control lever, further left, down toward 9:00 and the machine will move sharper left.

Counter rotation turn left:

Push and hold the drive lever straight left to the 9:00 position and the machine will counter- rotate. Avoid counter-rotation as much as possible for better efficiency and component wear. Plan the worksite accordingly.

Right turn steering:

From forward travel push the control lever to the 1:00 position and the machine will begin to travel right.
