Direction of Travel Selection
Transmission control lever (1) engages forward or reverse travel.
• Lift and push lever forward for forward travel; lift and pull lever rearward for
reverse travel. Move lever to centered position for neutral.
• Forward or reverse travel can be selected while in any gear.
• When traveling in reverse, the back-up alarm will automatically sound.
• Drive in reverse and turn only at slow rates of speed.
• Do not increase engine speed with the transmission in forward or reverse and
the service brake depressed in an attempt to get quicker hydraulic performances.
This could cause unexpected machine movement.

shifting transmission control lever. A sudden change in direction of travel could
reduce stability and/or cause load to shift or fall.
