ROLL OVER PROTECTIVE FRAMES (OPTIONAL)
The Ford 7500 is available with a safety frame
cab and seat belt, Figure 4, or a 4-post
protective frame and seat belt. Remember, the
safety offered by the protective frames will be
minimized if your seat belt is not buck- led.
Always use your seat belt they save lives. DO
NOT use the seat belt if the safety frame cah or
4-post pro- tective frame has been removed from
the tractor.
CAUTION Never attach chains, ropes, or cables
to the roll over protective frames for pulling
purposes. This is very dan- gerous. as the
tractor will tip backward. Always pull from the
tractor drawbar or from a point below the rear
axle. Be care- ful when driving through door
openings or under low overhead objects. Make sure
there is sufficient clearance for the roll over
protective frames to clear the struc- ture or
object.

FOOTACCELERATOR
The foot accelerator in your new Ford 7500 can be
used separately, or in conjunction with the hand
throttle. With the hand throttle set at a
selected engine rpm, the foot accelerator can be
used to increase engine rpm to its maximum
governed speed. Upon release of the foot
accelerator, the engine speed will return to idle
or to the rpm at which the hand throttle has been
set to maintain.
0 The hours and portions of hours your Ford 7500
has operated, based on the average engine speed
of 1570 rpm. Engine speeds below 1570 rpm
accumulate hours at a slower rate than clock
hours. Engine speed above 1570 rpm build up hours
faster than clock hours. Use the Proof-Meter as a
guide to determine hourly service and maintanance
intervals.
HORN BUTTON
AMMETER
The ammeter is located to the left of the
Proof-Meter, Figure 7. The instrument indicates
electrical current flow- ing to or from the
battery and is read as amperes. Current flow is
produced by the alternator and is controlled by
the voltage regulator. Depending on the
electrical load and the condition of the battery,
the ammeter will nor- mally show a low charging
rate. However, if the elec- trical load is
excessive or if the battery is run down, the
ammeter will show a high charging rate.
Your Ford 7500 incorporates a horn as standard
equip- ment. The horn button is located on the
right side of the steering column, Figure 7.
ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The engine coolant temperature gauge is shown in
Figure 7. When the needle is between 160 and
180, the engine coolant is at its normal

• The transmission temperature gauge is located to
  the right of the Proof-Meter, Figure 7. The gauge
  will nor- mally register at temperatures below
  230. If the tem- perature ever reaches 250,
  check to make sure the transmission oil level is
  satisfactory, then operate the engine with no
  load at 1200 rpm until the temperature drops back
  to normal reading of 230 or less.
• FUEL GAUGE
• The fuel gauge is located in the extreme right
  side of the instrument panel, Figure 7. The
  relationship of the needle to the quarter marks
  on the gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the
  tank.
• HYDRAULIC SYSTEM TEMPERATURE GAUGE
• The hydraulic system temperature gauge, Figure 7,
  indicates hydraulic system oil temperature of the
  backhoe and loader. Normal operating temperature
  is between 155O and 210 F. (86.1O C. and 98.9
  C.)
• HYDRAULIC OI L FILTER RESTRICTION INDICATOR
• The Hydraulic Oil Filter Restriction Indicator,

The bottom view of Figure 18 illustrates the
various combinations of lift arm and bucket
action that results when the control lever is
moved to positions other than left, right,
forward, and rearward.
Refer to page 21 for additional information on
the loader control lever and for loader operating
techniques. LOADER BUCKET LEVEL INDICATOR The
loader bucket level indicator, Figure 19, permits
the operator to tell at a glance when the bucket
is po- sitioned level with the ground. When the
bucket is level, the pointer should be positioned
over the reflective tape on the quadrant as
shown. BACKHOE CONTROLS

• The backhoe is controlled by the use of the six

Figure 20 Backhoe Control Levers
The easiest way to remember backhoe component
movement is to relate lever movements to yourself
when in the operator's seat facing the backhoe.
As the levers are moved toward you, the
components will move toward yOU. As the levers
are moved away, the components will move away
from you.
Pushing the lift lever forward will LOWER the
boom, dipstick, and bucket. Pulling the lift
lever rear- ward will LIFT the boom,
dipstick, and bucket.
ACTUATING LEVER (BUCKET)
The farther the levers are moved from neutral the
faster the components will move. For precise
control, all of the levers can be feathered
(moved slightly) to slow component movement.
OUT (DUMP)
In the following description of control lever
operation, observe the relationship of component
movement to con- trol lever movement.
