How do I operate a Bobcat 743 skid steer loader?

I just bought a bobcat 743 skid loader from an auction and am not 100% how to9o operate it. I know the stick controls are to move it, the left and right pedal control the bucket, but there is a center pedal, side throttle and the right stick also moves side-to side. What do these controls do?

    Center pedal is a parking brake in most cases, and the left to right on the right stick is auxiliary hydraulic power, if you’ll notice 2 quick couplers on the front of the machine ,supplys hydraulic power to them for other add on tools. god I hate Bobcats, give me a New Holland or Case anyday.

    before you try on your own, make sure there is plenty of space. Bobcats react instantly to any driver input.I would suggest you get someone who knows how to drive one to show you how to do it safely
