,.$*) ' (Fig. 26)ĊTraction pedal has two
functions; one is to make the machine move forward,
the other is to make it move backward. Using the heel
and toe of the right foot, depress top of pedal to move
forward and bottom of pedal to move backward.
Ground speed is proportionate to how far pedal is
depressed. For maximum ground speed with no load,
traction pedal must be fully depressed while throttle is
in FAST position. Maximum speed forward is
approximately 9.5 mph (15 km/hr). To get maximum
power under heavy load or when ascending a hill, have
throttle in FAST position while depressing traction
pedal slightly to keep engine rpm high. When engine
rpm begins to decrease, release traction pedal slightly
to allow engine rpm to increase.

/,) '- (Fig. 26)ĊThe left and right turn pedals
are connected to the left and right front wheel brakes
since both brakes work independently of each other.
The brakes can be used to turn sharply or to increase
traction if one wheel tends to slip while operating on a
hillside. However, wet grass or soft turf could be
damaged when brakes are used to turn.

,& ' (Fig. 26)ĊWhenever the engine is shut
off, the parking brake must be engaged to prevent
accidental movement of the machine.
The hydrostatic transmission will not, at any time, act
as a parking brake for the machine. To engage parking
brake, push down fully on brake pedal and pull parking
brake knob out; then release the pedal. To release
parking brake, depress brake pedal until parking
brake knob retracts. To stop quickly, remove right foot
from traction pedal and depress the brake pedal. To
permit straight stops, brake cables must be evenly
adjusted.
$!. 0 , (Fig. 27)ĊThe hydraulic lift lever has three
positions: FLOAT, TRANSPORT, and RAISE. To lower
implement to the ground, move lift lever forward into
notch, which is the FLOAT position. The FLOAT
position is used for operation and also when machine
is not in operation. To raise implement, pull lift lever
backward to the RAISE position. After implement is
raised, allow lift lever to move to the TRANSPORT
position. Normally, implement should be raised when
driving from one work area to another, except when
descending steep slopes.

ON (engage) and OFF (disengage). Slowly push PTO
lever fully forward to ON position to start the implement
or cutting unit blades. Slowly, pull lever backward to
OFF position to stop implement operation. The only
time PTO lever should be in the ON position is when
implement or cutting unit is down in operating position.
