Key Switch
The key switch, used to start and stop the engine, has
three positions: off, run, and start.
To start the engine, rotate the key to the start position.
Release the key when engine starts and it will move
automatically to the run position.
To stop the engine, rotate the key to the off position.
Throttle Lever
Move the control forward to increase the engine
speed and rearward to decrease speed.
Choke Lever
Before starting a cold engine, move the choke lever
fully forward. After the engine starts, regulate the
choke to keep the engine running smoothly. As soon
as possible, move the choke lever rearward as far as
possible. A warm engine requires little or no choking.

Traction Control Levers
To move forward, move the traction control levers
forward. To move rearward, move the traction control
levers rearward.
To go straight, move both traction control levers
equally.
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
m–4388
either direction, the faster the traction unit will move
in that direction.
To slow or stop, move the traction control levers to
neutral.
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.
Auxiliary Hydraulics Lever
To operate a hydraulic attachment in forward
direction, slowly pull the auxiliary hydraulics lever
rearward.
To operate a hydraulic attachment in reverse
direction, slowly push the auxiliary hydraulics lever
forward. This is also called the detent position
because it does not require operator presence.
