Before you start

  • The seat bar system must lock the lift and tilt control pedals in neutral when the seat bar is up. Service the system if pedals do not lock correctly.

Procedure

  1. Sit in the seat and fasten the seat belt. Engage the parking brake.
  2. Pull the seat bar all the way down. Start the engine.
  3. Operate each foot pedal to check both the lift and tilt functions.
  4. Raise the lift arms until the bucket is about 2 feet (600 mm) off the ground.
  5. Raise the seat bar. Try to move each foot pedal. Pedals must be firmly locked in neutral position.
  6. Check that there is no motion of the lift arms or tilt (bucket) when the pedals are pushed.
  7. Pull the seat bar down, lower the lift arms and place the bucket flat on the ground.
  8. Stop the engine. Raise the seat bar and operate the foot pedals to be sure that the pedals are firmly locked.
