Loader Control Joystick Operation
– The right-hand
joystick controls the loader arm and the at-tachment tilt
cylinder. It allows the operator to raise, lower and pivot
the attachment. The joystick operates on hydraulic
charge pressure.
The loader control also has a float position, which is
activated by moving the joystick completely forward
until it is held in detent. The joystick is held in the for-
ward float position by an electromagnet.
The tools required for loader/drive control joystick
removal and installation are listed in Table 9 1. Use
manufacturer recommended tools whenever possible.

Note:
The procedures for removing both joystick con-

Note:
During disassembly, cap and plug all hoses and
fittings to prevent fluid loss and contamination of the
system fluids.
Relax all hydraulic circuits/controls and make sure
the oil is cool before disconnecting any compo-
nent or line from the system. Pressurized and or
hot hydraulic fluid can cause personal injury.
