When the Inching Control is engaged, the machine will
travel at 57% of Standard travel speed and the
percentage  [Snl 57] will appear in the display (1)
[Figure 17].

While Inching Control is engaged, press the top of the

has not been pressed (Deluxe Panel). 

EXAMPLE: You can be using the machine at 40%
and then disengage the Inching Control to
reposition the loader, then re-engage Inching
Control. The speed percentage will still be at 40%.

If you turn the key OFF or press the STOP button,
the next time you start the engine and engage the
Inching Control, the speed will be at 57% of
Standard Travel Speed.
