5540F/YB5515 OPERATOR’S MANUAL OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Operating the Boom Controls
Four levers in the operator’s cab control the boom functions.
See Figure 3-49. These levers are connected directly to the
main control valves.
When operating each control, press the accelerator pedal to
increase engine speed to maximum rpm. Slowly move the
control lever. The further the control lever is moved the faster
the function will operate. To stop function movement, move
the control lever to the neutral position, then lower the engine
speed to idle.
