Operation
20
Stopping the Engine
1. Move the throttle lever to the slow (turtle)
position.
2. Lower the loader arms to the ground.
3. Turn the ignition key off.
Note: If the engine has been working hard or
is hot, let it idle for a minute before
turning the ignition key off. This helps
cool the engine before it is stopped. In
an emergency, the engine may be
stopped immediately.
Driving Forward or Backward
The throttle control regulates the engine speed as
measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Place the
throttle lever in the fast (rabbit) position for best
performance.
Note: Throttle position can be utilized to
operate at slower speeds.
To drive the traction unit, complete the following
actions as necessary:
• To move forward, move the traction control
levers forward.
• To move rearward, move the traction control
levers rearward.
• To go straight, move both traction control levers
equally.
• To turn, move the lever located on the side you
want to turn toward the neutral position while
keeping the other lever engaged.
• To slow or stop, move the traction control levers
to neutral.
Note: The farther you move the traction
control levers in either direction, the
faster the traction unit will move in
that direction.
Stopping the Traction Unit
To stop the traction unit, move the traction control
levers to neutral and the throttle lever to slow (turtle),
lower loader arms to the ground, and turn the ignition
key off to stop the engine. Remove the key.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Someone could move or attempt to operate
the traction unit while it is unattended.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Children or bystanders may be injured if
they use the traction unit.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
• Always remove the ignition key when
leaving the traction unit, even if just for a
few seconds.
Moving a Non Functioning
Traction Unit
IMPORTANT: Never tow or pull the traction
unit. Rotating the wheels manually will cause
damage to the hydraulic wheel motors.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Lift the traction unit off the ground, using the
two lift points (Fig. 10) and move onto a trailer.
