General Information
1. Adjust the operator's seat.
2. Fasten the seat belt.
3. Lower the armrest.
4. Start the engine and allow the machine to warm up. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual,
"Engine Starting".
5. Disengage the parking brake.
6. Raise all lowered work tools and attachments in order to negotiate any obstacles.
7. Smoothly move the speed and direction control for the desired direction and speed.
To prevent injury, make sure that no people are working on the machine or near the machine. To prevent
injury, keep the machine under control at all times.
Do not allow the machine to overspeed when you go downhill. Move the speed control lever toward the
HOLD position in order to reduce the speed of the machine when you are going downhill. For additional
information, refer to "Operating on a Slope".
Always put the heaviest end of the machine uphill when you are working on an incline.
The loader arms of the machine should be fully lowered onto the stops when you are digging with the
machine. Digging with the loader arms in the fully lowered position will transfer the stress that is placed on
the loader arm into the frame.
Note: Caterpillar does NOT recommend the use of steel tracks over tires on any model of skid steer loader.
Work tools may not engage the work tool coupler properly. Work tools may not properly engage the ground.
The loader arms may contact the steel tracks which will cause damage to the machine.
