Key Switch
The key switch, used to start the engine.
Check engine manufacturer's manual for
starting instructions. To shut engine off,
rotate key to OFF position (counter
clockwise direction).
Throttle
Move control upward to increase engine
speed and downward to decrease engine
speed.
Choke
For instructions regarding use of the choke
(petrol models) refer to the engine
manufacturers manual.
Drive Control Levers
To go forward, slowly push the right and left
drive control levers forward.
To go backward, slowly pull the right and left
drive control levers backward.
To go straight, apply equal pressure to both
drive control levers.
To turn, decrease pressure on the drive
control lever closest to the direction you
want to turn.
The farther you move the drive control levers
in either direction, the faster the machine will
move in that direction.
To slow or stop, move or release the drive
control levers into neutral. (If released the
control levers will automatically return to
neutral).
The Dingo is capable of turning on the spot
by applying equal power to each drive lever
in opposite directions.
Attachment Tilt Lever

The auxiliary hydraulics lever allows you to
alter the direction of rotation of
hydraulically driven attachments or stop
them completely.
ATTENTION:
Ensure auxiliary hydraulic
lever is in neutral position before starting
engine. Aside from starting difficulties the
attachment may move during starting.
To operate attachment in forward direction,
slowly pull auxiliary lever rearward. To
operate attachment in reverse direction,
slowly push auxiliary lever forward.
Pump Selector Lever
When faster ground speed and lifting speed
is required (bucket work) more than
attachment speed and power, push the
pump selector lever to the forward position
(Hare).
When faster attachment speed and power
is required (trenching, post hole digging etc)
more than ground speed and lifting power,
pull the pump selector lever to the rearward
position (Turtle).
