I picked up a 1998 208s recently, and am very happy with it so far. It is my first piece of heavy equipment, so I can't compare it to much, but it has done everything I have needed it to so far. Unfortunately, it did not come with an operator's manual (I have been trying to locate one), and I have figured out most of the controls and the buttons, but I can't figure out how to operate the side-shift feature of the back-hoe. Can anyone explain it to me?
