Pre-Start Inspection and Operation
Travel Creep Control
The travel system on the machine can be adjusted to make the attachment more effective in
tough digging situations. The travel “creep” control allows the travel speed to be adjusted from
full speed forward or reverse to no movement at all. To adjust the travel speed using the creep
control, move the engine throttle lever to the maximum engine speed and:
NOTE: Make sure that the High/Low travel speed switch (Item 2, Figure 3–32) is in the HIGH
position.
1. Move the AUXILIARY control lever (Item 1, Figure 3–32) to either the FORWARD or
REVERSE position. The travel speed CREEP control (Item 1, Figure 3–33) is now active.
2. Start with the CREEP control in the fully engaged position (rotate control fully clockwise),
which will send all hydraulic power to the attachment and the machine will not travel. .
NOTE: The OFF position for the creep control lever is straight downwards. This position
turns the control system off. Rotating the CREEP control lever fully clockwise to the top will
send all of the hydraulic power to the attachment with no power going to the travel system.
3. Hold the main travel control levers in either the fully forward or reverse position.
4. Rotate the CREEP control lever (Item 1, Figure 3–33) to adjust the travel speed as needed.
NOTE: Rotating the creep control lever controls travel speed:
• counter-clockwise increases the travel speed from very slow to full operating speed. The
faster the machine travels, the less hydraulic power will be directed to the attachment;
• clockwise decreases the travel speed from full operating speed to full stop. The slower the
machine travels, the more hydraulic power will be directed to the attachment.
5. Lower the attachment to the work position.
6. Rotate the CREEP control lever to adjust the machines travel speed to match the working
conditions.
NOTE: When the creep travel speed has been set properly, steering and direction control can
be adjusted by using either or both of the travel control levers.
7. To return to full operating speed, release both travel control levers and rotate the CREEP
control lever downwards past the highest speed setting into the “detent” OFF position. The
full speed control range will be returned to the main travel control levers.
