machine from the normal operating position.

Controls

Motion Control Levers
The motion control levers, located on each side of
the top console, control the forward and reverse
motion of the machine (see Figure 4).
Important: The tines are rotating when the
motion control levers are moved out of the
neutral position.

Throttle Control
Located on the control console (see Figure 4).
The throttle is used to control engine speed.
Moving the throttle lever forward will increase
engine speed and moving the throttle lever to the
rear will decrease engine speed. Moving the
throttle forward into the detent is full throttle.

Choke Control
Located on the control console (see Figure 4).
Choke is used to aid in starting a cold engine. The
choke control is pulled out to be in the "ON"
position and pushed in to be in the "OFF"
position. Do Not run a warm engine with choke in
the "ON" position.
Park Brake Lever
Located on right side of the control console (see
Figure 4).
The brake lever engages a parking brake in the
transmissions.
To engage the brake, pull knob out and slide
rearward.
To release, push the knob forward into the detent.
When parking on a steep slope, the wheels must be
chocked or blocked in addition to the brake being
engaged. The unit must be tied down and brake
engaged when transporting.
Ignition Switch
Located on the right side of the control console
(see Figure 4).
The ignition switch is used to start and stop the
engine. The switch has three positions "OFF",
"ON" and "START". Insert key into switch and
rotate clockwise to the "ON" position. Rotate
clockwise to the next position to engage the starter
(key must be held against spring pressure in this
position). Allow the key to return to the "ON"
position immediately after the engine starts.
Note: To start the engine, place the LH and RH
motion control levers in neutral. (It is not necessary
for the operator to be on the platform.)
Hour Meter/Tachometer Display
Located above the ignition switch (see Figure 4).
When the engine is off, the hour meter/tachometer
displays the number of hours of operation that
have been logged on the machine. When the
engine is running, it displays the speed of the
engine in revolutions per minute (RPM).
The hour meter is recording when the tachometer
displays RPM.
