Loader and Drive Controls
The PT-30 has two hydraulic pilot joy-
stick controls. These two joysticks are
used to control machine speed, direc-
tion, lift arms and bucket or attachment.
Joystick A is used to control the lift arms,
the bucket and float function. To engage
the float position move the joystick all
the way forward with a quick motion, the
joystick will then be held in detent. To
disengage, quickly pull back. Joystick B
controls direction and speed of the
machine.
Control Options
PT-30 machines are available with a
"Case type" control configuration. This
control option uses similar joysticks, but
with a different control pattern to direct
machine function. On these machines,
joystick A controls the right track as well
as bucket curl and dump functions.
Joystick B controls the left track, lift arm
up/down functions, and float position.
The float position with this configuration
does not have a detent position, and
must be manually held in place to acti-
vate float function.

requires precise movements, use a
lower engine rpm. When more speed,
horsepower or flow is required, use a
higher engine rpm.
• To Increase RPM, move the lever (C)
toward the front of the machine.
• To decrease RPM, move the lever (C)
toward the rear of the machine.
