Dual Hand Controls
Your Gehl loader may be equipped
with the dual hand control option.
The left handle controls the left side
drive and the lift. The right handle
controls the right side drive and the
tilt.
Drive Controls
Forward, reverse, speed and turning
maneuvers are accomplished by
pushing and pulling the handles. To go forward, push both handles forward;
for reverse, pull both handles rearward. For turning, move one handle
farther forward or rearward than the other handle. Turn direction is
determined by which handle is moved farther forward; to turn left, move the
right handle farther forward than the left handle. For sharp turns, move the
handles in opposite directions.
Moving the handles farther from neutral increases the speed steadily to the
maximum travel speed. Tractive effort decreases as speed increases. To get
maximum tractive effort, move the handles only slightly away from the
neutral position. The engine will stall if the control is moved too far when
loading the bucket.
WARNING
starting the engine. Operate the controls gradually and smoothly.
Excessive speed and quick control movements without regard for
conditions and circumstances are hazardous and could cause an
accident.
