knob clockwise. To decrease the angle of the armrest,
turn the knob counterclockwise.
In order to adjust the height of armrest, loosen knob
(14B), and raise the armrest to the desired height. To
secure the armrest at the desired height, tighten the
knob.

Parking and Secondary Brake Control (17)
Parking Brake
Note: The parking brake operates on the front axle only.
Engage the parking brake after the machine has
stopped and when the transmission control has been
moved to the NEUTRAL position.
Illustration 83 g00978894
Parking Brake Engaged - Pull lever (17) fully upward
in order to engage the parking brake. When the lever is
pulled fully upward, a latch will lock in order to hold the
parking brake in the ENGAGED position.
Parking Brake Disengaged - Pull back lever (17) and
pull lever (17A) in order to release the latch. Lower
lever (17) to the DISENGAGED position.
Note: The parking brake has an interlock switch in
order to prevent the machine from being driven through
the brake. The machine will not move in either
FORWARD or REVERSE when the parking brake is
engaged. The machine will not move if the parking
brake lever is slightly engaged.
Secondary Brake
The parking brake also functions as a secondary
brake. Only use the parking brake to bring the
machine to a stop if the service brakes fail to stop the
machine. If the parking brake has been used as a
secondary brake for an emergency stop, do not move
or operate the machine until the service and parking
brake systems have been checked and any necessary
repairs have been completed.
Accelerator Control (18)
Depress the pedal in order to increase the engine
speed.
Release the pedal in order to decrease the engine
speed.
Service Brake Control (19)
Brakes are installed on the front axle.
Depress the pedal in order to decelerate or stop the
machine. Release the pedal in order to disengage the
service brakes.
The service brake can be used in conjunction with
transmission neutralizer control (switch) (2). When the
top of switch (2) is pushed in, the transmission is
automatically neutralized when a firm pressure is
applied to the brake pedal. This allows a higher engine
speed for improved hydraulic response time when you
operate the machine implements. This mode of
operation should only be used when the boom is
retracted and below horizontal. When the bottom of
switch (2) is pushed in, the transmission remains
engaged when the pedal is depressed. Refer to
"Transmission Neutralizer Control (2)" for more
information.
Differential Lock Control (20)
The differential lock can be selected in order to
override the normal operation of the front axle
differential. The differential lock will help maintain
traction when the ground conditions are soft or
slippery. When the differential lock is selected, torque is
transmitted to both wheels even though one wheel may
not have traction.
Differential Lock Control - Press the
control and hold the control in order to engage
the differential lock. In order to disengage the
