Auxiliary Hydraulics Continuous Flow Latch Trigger
Description Controls auxiliary hydraulics flow direction and amount. See “Auxiliary Hydraulic System” on page 54. Works with Auxiliary Hydraulics Rocker Switch to latch/unlatch auxiliary hydraulics continuous flow. See “Auxiliary Hydraulic System” on page 54.
On machines equipped with T-bar controls, the left T-bar controls the drive, and the right T-bar controls the lift/tilt. Drive Control (Left T-Bar)
Forward, reverse, travel speed and turning maneuvers are controlled using the left T-bar (Figure 26):

Lift/Tilt Control (Right T-Bar)
Lift arm raise and lower, and attachment tilt are controlled using the right T-bar (Figure 27):

A. To go forward, push the left T-bar forward. B. To go in reverse, pull the left T-bar rearward. C. To turn right, twist the control clockwise. D. To turn left, twist the control counter-clockwise. For gradual turns, twist the T-bar slightly; for sharp turns, twist the T-bar further. Turns while moving forward or in reverse can be made by twisting the T-bar while also pushing it forward or pulling it back. Moving the T-bar farther from neutral increases the speed steadily to the maximum travel speed.
A. To lower the lift arm, push the right T-bar straight forward. B. To raise the lift arm, pull the right T-bar straight rearward. C. To tilt the attachment forward and down, twist the right T-bar clockwise. D. To tilt the attachment up and back, twist the right T-bar counter-clockwise. The lift arm can be tilted while raising or lowering by twisting the T-bar while also pushing it forward or pulling it back. Note: The speed of the lift/tilt motion is proportional to the amount of T-bar movement and engine speed.
Note: Tractive effort decreases as speed increases. To get maximum tractive effort, move the T-bar only slightly away from the neutral position. Note: The engine will stall if the control is moved too far forward when loading the bucket.
WARNING Make sure the controls are in neutral before 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.
