Key Switch

The key switch, used to start and shut off the engine, has 3 positions: OFF, RUN, and START. Refer to Starting the Engine.

Throttle Lever

Move the control forward to increase the engine speed and rearward to decrease speed.

Traction-Control Levers

To move forward, move the traction-control levers forward.
To move rearward, move the traction-control levers rearward.
To turn, move the lever located on the side you want to turn back toward the NEUTRAL position while keeping the other lever engaged.

Note: The farther you move the traction-control levers in either direction, the faster the machine moves in that direction.
To slow or stop, move the traction-control levers to the NEUTRAL position.

Attachment-Tilt Lever

To tilt the attachment forward, slowly push the attachment-tilt lever forward.
To tilt the attachment rearward, slowly pull the attachment-tilt lever rearward.

Loader-Arm Lever

To lower the loader arms, slowly push the loader-arm lever forward.
To raise the loader arms, slowly pull the loader-arm lever rearward.

Loader-Valve Lock

The loader-valve lock secures the loader-arm and attachment-tilt levers so that you cannot push them forward. This helps to ensure that no one accidentally lowers the loader arms during maintenance. Secure the loader arms with the lock anytime you need to shut off the machine with the loader arms raised.

To set the lock, pull it back and all the way down against the levers (Figure 8).

Note: You must move the levers rearward to engage or disengage the loader-valve lock.

Figure 8

Auxiliary-Hydraulics Lever

To operate a hydraulic attachment in forward direction, slowly pull the auxiliary-hydraulics lever upward and then rearward.
To operate a hydraulic attachment in reverse direction, slowly pull the auxiliary-hydraulics lever upward and then push it forward. This is also called the DETENT position because it does not require operator presence.

Speed-Selector Lever

To set the traction drive, loader arms, and attachment tilt to high speed and the auxiliary hydraulics to low speed, move the speed-selector lever to the FORWARD position.
To set the auxiliary hydraulics to high speed and the traction drive, loader arms, and attachment tilt to low speed, move the speed-selector lever to the REARWARD position.

Warning

If you move the speed-selector lever while the traction unit is in motion, the traction unit will either stop suddenly or accelerate quickly. If you operate the traction unit with the speed-selector lever in an intermediate position, the traction unit will operate erratically and may be damaged. You could lose control of the traction unit and injure bystanders or yourself.

Do not move the speed-selector lever when the traction unit is in motion.
Do not operate the traction unit when the speed selector is in any intermediate position (i.e., any position other than fully forward or fully rearward).

Hour Meter

The hour meter displays the number of hours of operation logged on the traction unit.

After 50 hours and every 75 hours thereafter (i.e., 50, 125, 200, etc.) the hour meter displays SVC on the lower left side of the screen to remind you to change the engine oil and perform the required maintenance.

After every 400 hours (i.e., 400, 800, 1200, etc.), the hour meter displays SVC on the lower right side of the screen to remind you to perform the other maintenance procedures based on a 400-hour schedule.

Note: These reminders come on starting 3 hours prior to the service interval time and flash at regular intervals for 6 hours.

Flow-Divider Control

The traction unit hydraulics (i.e., the traction drive, loader arms, and attachment tilt) work on a separate hydraulic circuit from the auxiliary hydraulics for powering attachments; however, the 2 systems share the same hydraulic pumps. Using the flow-divider control (Figure 9), you can vary the speed of the traction unit hydraulics by diverting hydraulic flow to the auxiliary-hydraulics circuit. Therefore, the more hydraulic flow you divert to the auxiliary hydraulics, the slower the traction unit hydraulics move.

Figure 9

Flow-divider control
Knob
12 o'clock position
10 to 11 o'clock position
9 o'clock position

Move the flow-divider control to the 12 o'clock position to provide maximum speed to the traction unit hydraulics.

Use this setting for fast operation of the traction unit.
Move the flow-divider control between the 12 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions to slow the traction unit hydraulics and fine-tune the speed.

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 9 o'clock position to transfer all hydraulic flow to the auxiliary hydraulics of the attachment.

In this setting, the traction unit hydraulics do not work. Use this setting with hydraulic attachments that do not require the traction unit hydraulics. The trencher works best if you set it close to 9 o'clock so that the traction unit creeps slowly when trenching.

Note: The flow-divider control can be fixed in place by turning the knob on the control clockwise until it contacts the dial (Figure 9).

Parking-Brake Lever

To engage the parking brake, rotate the lever down (Figure 10).
To release the parking brake, rotate the lever up (Figure 10).

Adding Fuel

Danger

In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and others and can damage property.

Fill the fuel tanks outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills.
Never fill the fuel tanks inside an enclosed trailer.
Never smoke when handling fuel and stay away from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be ignited by a spark.
Store fuel in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy more than a 30-day supply of fuel.
Do not operate without entire exhaust system in place and in proper working condition.

Danger

In certain conditions during fueling, static electricity can be released, causing a spark that can ignite the fuel vapors. A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and others and can damage property.

Always place fuel containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
Do not fill fuel containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed, because interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge.
When practical, remove equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground.
If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable container rather than from a fuel-dispenser nozzle.
If you must use a fuel-dispenser nozzle, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

Warning

Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and illness.

Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
Keep your face away from the nozzle and fuel tank opening.
Keep fuel away from your eyes and skin.

Fuel Recommendations

Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels with low (<500 ppm) or ultra low (<15 ppm) sulfur content. The minimum cetane rating should be 40. Purchase fuel in quantities that you can use within 180 days to ensure fuel freshness.

Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter grade (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below that temperature. Using winter-grade fuel at lower temperatures provides lower flash point and cold flow characteristics, which eases starting and reduces fuel filter plugging.

Using summer-grade fuel above -7°C (20°F) contributes toward longer fuel pump life and increased power compared to winter-grade fuel.

Important: Do not use kerosene or gasoline instead of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution will damage the engine.

Biodiesel Ready

This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel of up to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petrodiesel). The petrodiesel portion should be low or ultra low sulfur. Observe the following precautions:

The biodiesel portion of the fuel must meet specification ASTM D6751 or EN14214.
The blended fuel composition should meet ASTM D975 or EN590.
Painted surfaces may be damaged by biodiesel blends.
Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends in cold weather.
Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel as they may degrade over time.
Fuel filter plugging may occur for a time after converting to biodiesel blends.
Contact your distributor for more information on biodiesel.

Filling the Fuel Tank(s)

Park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking brake (if equipped), and lower the loader arms.
Shut off the engine, remove the key, and allow the engine to cool.
Clean around the fuel-tank cap and remove it (Figure 13).
Figure 13
1. Fuel-tank cap
Fill the tank to about 2.5 cm (1 inch) below the top of the tank, not the filler neck, with fuel.

Important: This space in the tank allows fuel to expand. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Install the fuel-tank cap securely, turning it until it clicks.
Wipe up any spilled fuel.

Performing Daily Maintenance

Before starting the machine each day, perform the Each Use/Daily procedures listed in the .

Important: Check the hydraulic-fluid level and bleed the fuel system before starting the engine for the first time; refer to Checking the Hydraulic-Fluid Level and Bleeding the Fuel System.
