D-H pattern lift arm operation is shared between the
right and left control joysticks (Fig. 51):
A. Tilt the left joystick to the left to raise the lift
arm.
IMPORTANT:
The lift arm can be lowered if
the engine is off by turning the ignition key
clockwise to the first detent and pressing the
float button on the right joystick (See "Lift Arm
Float" on page 79).
B. Tilt the left joystick to the right to lower the
lift arm.
C. Tilt the right joystick to the left to tilt the
attachment back.

CAUTION
The lift arm may fall abruptly when it is lowered
with the engine off. Make sure no one is near the
machine when lowering the lift arm with the

Self-Leveling

Self-leveling automatically keeps the tilt angle of
the attachment constant (B, Fig. 52) when the lift
arm is raised (A). This feature is especially useful
when using pallet forks.
IMPORTANT:
Self-leveling operates only when
the lift arm is raised: when the lift arm is lowered
(C), self-leveling is not activated (D).
