2. 7 LIFT ARM SUPPORT
For safety while performing regular service or
maintenance work the loader is equipped with a liftarm
support.
The liftarm support, when engaged, prevents the liftarms
from dropping if hydraulic pressure is relieved or the right
hand control lever is accidentally cycled.
To operate the liftarm support, remove attachment and
park on level ground. Lower the liftarms to the ground and
stop the engine. Exit the machine and remove pin that
holds the liftarm support in stored positon(Fig. 2.7A).
Lower the liftarm support to rest on the lift cylinder(Fig.
2.7B). Re-enter the machine and re-assume proper
operating positon with the seat belt fastened and start the
engine. Slowly raise the liftarms until the support falls
onto the cylinder rod. Slowly lower the liftarms until
support restricts movement. Stop the engine.
To remove the liftarm support, enter the loader and assume
proper operating position with the seat belt fastened and
start the engine, slowly raise the liftarms until the support
is free, have a helper pin the support into its stored positon,
lower the liftarms to the ground and shut off the engine
before exiting the loader.
2. 8 STEERING CONTROL LEVER
The left control lever controls speed, direction and turning
of the loader. Loader speed is controlled by the amount the
lever is moved from the centre or neutral position. (Fig.
2.8A) The further away from neutral, the faster the travel
speed. For maximum power and slow travel speed move
the control lever only a small amount.
To drive the loader forward in a straight line, move the left
control lever forward from the neutral position (Fig.
2.8A).
To drive the loader in reverse in a straight line, move the
left control lever back from the neutral position (Fig.
2.8A).
The loader is turned by moving the left control lever to the
side. To turn right while in forward or reverse travel, ease
the control lever to the right. To stop turning, return the
lever to a center position. To turn left while in forward or
reverse travel, ease the lever to the left from the neutral
position. To stop turning, return the lever to a center
position (Fig. 2.8A).
For the loader to turn or "skid-steer" within its own length,
move the lever to the left or the right from the neutral
position. This causes the wheels on one side to turn
forward and the wheels on the other side to reverse turning
the loader (Fig. 2.8A).

2.9 ELECTRIC SOLENOID
AUXILIARY CONTROLS
Auxiliary hydraulics (solenoid operated - standard) will
only operate with the seat bar down.
A switch located on the R.H. steering control lever (Fig.
2.8A) is used to engage the loader's auxiliary hydraulic
circuit to power attachments such as post hole augers,
sweepers, etc. Pressing and holding the switch in position
1 (fig. 2.8A) provides hydraulic flow to the female quick
connect coupling located at the front of the lift arms (fig.
2.8C). Releasing the switch returns the auxiliary hydraulic
circuit to neutral, stopping the hydraulic flow.
Pressing and holding the switch in position 2 (fig. 2.8A)
provides hydraulic flow to the male quick connect
coupling located at the front of the lift arms (fig. 2.8C).
releasing the switch returns the auxiliary hydraulic circuit
to neutral, stopping hydraulic flow.
For continuous flow to the auxiliary hydraulic circuit, a
toggle switch is located on the L.H. instrument panel (fig.
2.8B). Placing the switch in the "ON" position provides
continuous hydraulic flow to the female quick connect
coupling located at the front of the lift arms (fig. 2.8C). To
stop hydraulic flow to the auxiliary hydraulic circuit,
return the switch to the "OFF" position (fig. 2.8B). When
the switch on the instrument panel is in the "ON" position,
the switch located in the L.H. control lever is not operable.

2. 10 LIFTARM CONTROLS
The right hand control lever (Fig. 2.10) operates the
loader•s liftarm and bucket hydraulic system. Refer to
section 2.8 for instructions on steering control.
When the control lever is in the neutral position, the lift
and tilt functions are static, the work attachment position
should not change unless the control lever is moved. If the
work attachment does move, service to hydraulic controls
is required.
Having the control lever in the neutral position does not
affect auxiliary hydraulics. Auxiliary hydraulics are
controlled separately and will continue to operate with the
control lever in the neutral position.
FLOAT (A)- Pushing the control lever all the way forward
will lock the lever in liftarm float detent. This float
position allows the work attachment to follow the contour
of the ground. Lever will remain locked in float position
until it is pulled out of float position.
LOWER (B)- To lower the liftarm, push the control lever
straight forward from the neutral position, the control lever
will return to the neutral position when released.
NEUTRAL (N)- Neutral (hold) position, lift and tilt
functions are static. Liftarms should hold their position.
RAISE(D)- Pulling the control lever back from the neutral
position will raise the liftarms, releasing the control lever
will allow it to return to the neutral position.
TILT BACK (E)- Moving the control lever to the left will
tilt the work attachment back (roll back bucket), releasing
the control lever will allow it to return to a neutral position.
TILT FORWARD (F)- Moving the control lever to the
right will tilt the work attachment forward (dump bucket),
releasing the control lever will allow it to return to a
neutral position.
By moving the control lever between two positons, both
functions can be done at the same time.
- Move the lever diagonally between lower and tilt forward
(B-F) to do both at the same time (lower and roll the work
attachment forward).
-Move the lever diagonally between raise and tilt back (D-
E) to do both at the same time (raise and roll the work
attachment back).
-Move the lever diagonally between raise and tilt forward
(D-F) to do both at the same time (raise and tilt the work
attachment forward).
-Move the lever diagonally between lower and tilt back
(B-E) to do both at the same time (lower and tilt the work
attachment back).
