The Bobcat S590 is a vertical path skid-steer loader that provides unmatched power to help you push through your toughest jobs.  Here is an overview on how to properly operate the machine. 

Before getting into your S590 skid loader, make sure the machine is in safe operating condition. Walk around the machine, check the tire pressure and engine oil before starting the piece of equipment.  When entering through the front of the machine, you need to have three points of contact at all times.  Once you have safely entered the machine, lower the safety bar around yourself.  First, turn the key to start the loader. Then push the green button on your left hand side to operate the loader.  To move the machine forward, push both joysticks away from you.  To move backwards, push both joysticks towards you. To turn left, pull the left joystick towards yourself while pushing the right joystick away from you. To turn right, pull the right joystick towards yourself while pushing the left joystick away from you. Your right joystick is equipped with a rabbit icon to accelerate to a higher speed and a turtle icon to reduce to a slower speed. Always start on the slow position and gradually increase speed. Your right joystick will control the movement of you bucket. Roll your right joystick towards yourself to pull the bucket back.  Roll it away from yourself to push the bucket down. The left joystick will also control the movement of the loader. Roll towards yourself to raise the loader up and roll it away from yourself to lower the loader down. You also have foot pedals that mimic the same operation features as your joysticks.
