Key Switch
The key switch, used to start and stop the engine,
has three positions: off, run, and start.
To start the engine, rotate the key to the start
position. Release the key when engine starts and it
will move automatically to the run position.
To stop the engine, rotate the key to the off
position.
Throttle Lever
Move the control forward to increase the engine
speed and rearward to decrease speed.
Reference Bar
When driving the traction unit, use the reference
bar as a handle and a leverage point for controlling
the traction control and the auxiliary hydraulics
lever. To ensure smooth, controlled operation, do
not take both hands off of the reference bar while
operating the traction unit.

Traction Control
To move forward, move the traction control
forward. To move rearward, move the traction
control rearward (Figure 10).
To turn, rotate the traction control in the desired
direction (Figure 10).
The farther you move the traction control in any
direction, the faster the traction unit will move in
that direction.
To stop, release the traction control.

Loader Arm/Attachment Tilt Lever
To tilt the attachment forward, slowly move the
lever to the right (Figure 11).
To tilt the attachment rearward, slowly move the
lever to the left (Figure 11).
To lower the loader arms, slowly move the lever
forward (Figure 11).
To raise the loader arms, slowly move the lever
rearward (Figure 11).
You can also push the lever fully forward into a
detent position (Figure 11) to release the loader
arms so that the attachment rests on the ground.
This allows attachments such as the leveler and
the hydraulic blade to follow the contours of the
ground (i.e., float) when grading.
