When the top of switch (18) is depressed, the hydraulic flow will be diverted so that tilt control lever (A) will operate the fourth function of an work tool. For example, the tilt function for a rotary hydraulic broom can be locked out once the broom has been tilted to the desired position. Then, the lever would control the direction of rotation for the rotary hydraulic broom.
Pull tilt control lever (A) rearward in order to pressurize the left supply line. Push the control lever (A) forward in order to pressurize the right supply line.
Lift Control
|
| FLOAT (D) - Push lift control lever (B) forward into the detent. The work tool will lower to the ground. The work tool will float with the contour of the ground. |
The lift control lever will remain in the FLOAT position until the lever is pulled out of the detent. The lift control lever will return to the HOLD position when the lever is released.
| NOTICE |
|---|
Never use the FLOAT position to lower a loaded bucket. Machine damage can result from a bucket that falls too fast. |

Parking Brake Control (21)
| NOTICE |
|---|
Do not engage the parking brake while the machine is moving unless the primary service brake fails. The use of the parking brake as a service brake in regular operation will cause severe damage to the brake system. |
When the parking brake lever is engaged the transmission is neutralized. The machine will not move.
Shifting the directional control lever will not cause the machine to move until the parking brake lever is disengaged.
Parking Brake - The parking brake lever is located on the left side of the seat. Use the parking brake after the machine is stopped.
Parking Brake Engaged - Pull up on the parking brake lever in order to engage the parking brake. The transmission will shift to neutral. The alert indicator for the parking brake will come on. The alert indicator is located on the right side of the steering column.
Note: If the parking brake is engaged and the transmission direction control lever is in a forward position or in a reverse position, the machine will not move. Move the transmission direction control lever into NEUTRAL, and then move the transmission direction control lever into the desired direction in order for the transmission to be in gear.
Parking Brake Disengaged - Push the button on the top of the parking brake lever. Lower the parking brake lever in order to release the parking brake.
Secondary Brake - The secondary brake uses the same lever as the parking brake. If the service brakes fail to stop the machine, use the secondary brake.
Service Brake Controls (22)
| Brake Pedals - Use the left brake pedal or the right brake pedal to slow down the machine's ground speed for normal braking. |
|

| Disengage - Press the bottom of the switch in order to disengage the pins for the quick coupler. |
Hold - When you release the control lever, the control lever will return to the HOLD position. The coupler pins will remain in the ENGAGED position or in the DISENGAGED position.
To make sure that the coupler pins are fully engaged into the work tool, tilt the work tool downward onto the ground and apply slight downward pressure. Then, back up the machine. If there is movement between the work tool and the coupler pins, the work tool is not installed properly.
Move the diverter valve lever back into the original position. This will disable the control lever from activating the coupler pins.
Note: Operating instructions for specific work tools are not provided. The function of the control lever is dependent upon the installation of an Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturer's work tool.

Temperature Control Switch (29)
| Temperature Control Knob - Turn the knob clockwise to COOL. Turn the knob counterclockwise to WARM. |
Ride Control or Load Check Switch(30)
Ride Control
If equipped, the ride control system acts as a shock absorber by dampening forces from the bucket. This helps to stabilize the entire machine.
Note: Push the middle of the ride control switch (30) in order to turn off the ride control. Placing the ride control system in the OFF position allows more efficient loading of the bucket. Failure to move the switch to the recommended position could result in damage to the machine.
| Automatic Ride Control - Push the top of the switch in order to turn on the automatic ride control. |
The ride control system will automatically turn on if the ground speed exceeds 9.6 km/h (6 mph). The ride control system will automatically turn off if the ground speed is less than 9.6 km/h (6 mph) and if the bucket is being operated.
| Manual Ride Control - Push the bottom of the switch in order to turn on the manual ride control. |
When the ride control switch is in the manual position, the ride control system will be operational at all times.

If equipped, the transmission direction control switch on the pilot hydraulic bucket control is only active when the transmission is in second gear. Press the downshift switch briefly while the machine is in second gear. The transmission will downshift to first gear. The transmission will remain in first gear until a speed change is made or a direction change is made.
|
| Automatic Mode - To activate the automatic mode of the autoshift function, push the top of the switch prior to shifting the transmission into forward or into reverse. Select the highest desired operating speed. The control selects the proper transmission gear according to the version of the machine and according to the ground speed of the machine. |
Automatic downshifts into first gear are not allowed. Briefly press the transmission direction control switch in order to downshift the transmission by one gear speed. The transmission can be downshifted into first gear if an engine overspeed would not occur.
Hold down the transmission direction control switch in order to continuously downshift the transmission until the machine is in first gear. The normal autoshift function continues after the downshift switch is released for three seconds.
