OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Before you operate the machine, check the steering control levers, instruments, warning lamps, engine throttle, and equipment hydraulic controls. Also, check the seat bar. When the seat bar is in the UP position, the parking latch is ENGAGED and the loader control levers are locked in the NEUTRAL position. If you know there is a malfunction, a missing part, or a part that needs adjustment, stop the machine and correct the problem. SC007

WARNING: Always know the location of all workers in your area. Warn them before you start working the machine. Always keep all other persons away from your area. Serious injury or death can result if you do not follow these instructions. SA015

1.Set the engine speed at full throttle and control the machine speed with the steering control levers. 2.If you are a new operator, always operate the machine in an open area at a reduced machine speed until you get a feel of the controls. If you move the steering controls too fast the machine can start bouncing. Just release the control levers and the machine will stop. 3.Keep all machine and loader movements smooth. You can get more done in a shorter time with a smooth work cycle. 4.Keep the work area as smooth and level as possible. 5.Keep the work cycle as short as possible. 6.If you are working on a hard level surface, select the narrow or nonpneumatic tires. Then, when you are working on soft ground or you need more traction, use the wide flotation tires.
