1. When changing directions, it is best to reduce engine speed.
2. Keep a loaded bucket close to the ground.
3. Stop machine, if necessary, to recover from an unstable condition.

a. Throttle lever (Figure 2, Item 2) is for setting engine speed. Increase engine speed by pushing forward on
throttle lever. Lower engine speed by pulling back in throttle lever. Engine speed is constant at throttle lever
setting.
