operated and is used to make the machine move forward
and backward and to stop the machine. Using the heel and
toe of the right foot, depress top of pedal to move forward
and bottom of pedal to move rearward, To stop machine
remove foot from pedal. 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 full position. Allowing pedal to move to
neutral position will stop machine.
Maximum forward speed is approximately 6.5 mph (10.5
Km/hr). Maximum forward speed while sweeping is 5 mph.
To get maximum power under heavy load or when
ascending a hill, have throttle in full position while
depressing traction pedal slightly to keep engine rpm high.
When engine rpm begins to decrease, release traction pedal
slightly to allow rpm to increase. When sweeping wet
debris or a thick layer of material, slower speeds may need
to be used.
