Loader and Drive Controls
The PT-50 and PT-60 have two hydraulic
pilot joystick controls. The joysticks are
used to control machine speed and
direction as well as lift arm, bucket, and
attachment functions. Joystick A (photo
right) is used to control the lift arms,
bucket, and to engage the float function.
To activate the float function, move the
joystick fully forward in a quick motion.
The joystick will then be held in detent
by the magnet attached to the joystick
base. Pull back quickly to disengage.
Joystick B controls the direction and
speed of the machine.
Control Options
Machines are available with a "Case"
style control configuration. Machines
equipped in this manner use similar joy-
sticks, but operate using a different pat-
tern to control machine function. In this
pattern, joystick A controls both the right
track and the bucket curl and dump func-
tions. Joystick B controls the left track,
lift arm, and float functions. The float
function does not have a detent position
in this configuration and must be manu-
ally held in position while operating with
float engaged.
Throttle
The throttle (C) controls engine rpm.
Use a lower rpm for work that requires
delicate operation of the machine. Use
higher rpm when faster travel speed,
higher horsepower, or more flow is
required.
• To Increase RPM, move the lever (C)
toward the front of the machine.
• To decrease RPM, move the lever (C)
toward the rear of the machine.
