Check Before Operating Stability Data The following table lists the maximum slope recommended for the traction unit in the positions listed in the table. Slopes over the listed degree may cause the traction unit to become unstable. The data in the table assumes that the loader arms are fully lowered and that the factory installed tires are on the traction unit, inflated to the recommended pressure; raised arms and other tire types or pressure may affect the stability.
Before Operating Before operating, check the fuel and oil level, remove debris from the traction unit, and check the tire pressure. Also, ensure that the area is clear of people and debris. You should also know and have marked the locations of all utility lines. 5. Install the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled. If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use. This will minimize possible buildup of condensation inside the fuel tank.

Operation Controls Become familiar with all the controls (Fig. 13) before you start the engine and operate the traction unit. 3 1 5 2 4 To turn, move the lever located on the side you want to turn back toward the neutral position while keeping the other lever engaged. The farther you move the traction control levers in either direction, the faster the traction unit will move in that direction. To slow or stop, move the traction control levers to neutral. 6 7 m–4388 Figure 13 1. 2. 3. 4.
Operation hydraulics are on without operator presence. To do so, move the lever completely to the left and then back until the lever remains in the reverse position. Speed Selector Lever Move the speed selector lever to the fast (rabbit) position to set the traction drive, loader arms, and attachment tilt to high speed and the auxiliary hydraulics to low speed.
Operation Use a setting in this range with attachments with hydraulics where you need to both run the attachment and move the traction unit hydraulics, such as the auger, boring unit, hydraulic blade, and tiller. • Move the control to the nine–o’clock position to transfer all hydraulic flow to the auxiliary hydraulics of the attachment. In this setting, the traction unit hydraulics will not work. Use this setting with hydraulic attachments that do not required the traction unit hydraulics.
Operation Glow Plug Light IMPORTANT: If the engine is run at high speeds when the hydraulic system is cold (i.e., when the ambient air temperature is around freezing or lower), hydraulic system damage could occur. When starting the engine in cold conditions, allow the engine to run in the middle throttle position for 2 to 5 minutes before moving the throttle to fast (rabbit). This light is on when the key is turned to run before starting the engine.
Operation • • To turn, move the lever located on the side you want to turn toward the neutral position while keeping the other lever engaged. 1. Stop the engine. 2. Lift the traction unit off the ground, using the two lift points (Fig. 17), and move it onto a trailer. To slow or stop, move the traction control levers to neutral. Note: The farther you move the traction control levers in either direction, the faster the traction unit will move in that direction.
