Basically All i know is how to start the engine and move it! My question is I believe there is lots of safety switches on this machine & I don't believe the ones on my 553 are working correctly. I can jump in it start the engine pull on the levers and away it moves, is this normal? I don't need to pull down the safety bar, for this to happen. I cannot seem to get the arm to go up or down. I would like to know what the traction override switch does located on the left side of the cab, also when the machine is running it creeps forwards is this normal? Is there a brake. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Where would I find manuals for this machine? Cheers</p></blockquote><p></p>
