Platform Rotate Switch; Horn Button; Platform Foot Switch; Machine/Generator Switch - Snorkel TB42J Operato's Manual

High engine speed is obtained when the main boom is
horizontal, the foot switch is depressed, the throttle switch
is in the high position, and the drive joystick is moved out
of neutral into the forward or reverse position.
The machine can be driven in mid-range engine speed
with the throttle switch place in the low position.
Deutz engines have a two speed throttle operation from
the upper controls. When the throttle switch is in the low
position the engine is at idle. Placing the switch in the
