1999 Bobcat 753 lift arm pedal use.

[hi3cmz]

Hi everyone, I am new to world of skid loaders. I got a 1999 753 and found that the lift arm pedal operation is different than cab stickers states: To lower the lift arm I have to step left pedal backward, and to lift, I have to step pedal forward, does anyone know who is correct, my machine, or the sticker? the bucket operate as stickers say: forward to drop, and backward to hold. and if... this pedal is different than anybody else here, what might be the reason? Thanks!

Lift is back, lower is forward. Hoses have to be crossed somewhere, there is no way to make the linkage work backwards. I'm not sure where the lines could be cross as it is tube lines from the vavle back to the rear of the machine. maybe both lift clinders have been out at some time and some ******* hooked them up backwards.

I agree with Dan. The easiest way to fix it is to swap hoses at the lift rams.
Heel up, toe down.

Thanks for help! I see some flex houses near base end of each lift hydraulic cylinder, visually they are the same diameters, so I just switch them each other?
