Parking Brake
Whenever the engine is shut off, the parking brake (Figure 9)
must be engaged to prevent accidental movement of the
vehicle. To engage the parking brake, pull back on the lever.
To disengage, push the lever forward. Release the parking
brake before moving the vehicle. If you park the vehicle on
a steep grade, apply the parking. Also, shift the transmission
into 1st gear on a uphill grade or reverse on a down hill grade.
Place chocks at the down hill side of the wheels.
Hydraulic Lift
The hydraulic lift raises and lowers bed. Move it rearward to
raise the bed, and forward to lower it (Figure 9).
Important: When lowering the bed, hold the lever in
the forward position for 1 or 2 seconds after the bed
contacts the frame to secure it in the lowered position.
Do not hold the hydraulic lift in either the raise or lower
position, for more than 5 seconds, once the cylinders
have reached the end of their travel.
Hydraulic Lift Lock
The hydraulic lift lock locks the lift lever so the hydraulic
cylinders do not operate when the vehicle is not equipped
with a bed (Figure 9). It also locks the lift lever in the On
position when using the hydraulics for attachments.
High–Low Range Shifter
The high–low range shifter adds three additional speeds for
precise speed control (Figure 9).
•
The vehicle must be completely stopped before shifting
between High and Low range.
•
Shift only on level ground.
•
Press clutch pedal fully.
•
Move the lever fully forward for High and fully rearward
for Low.

6. High–low range shifter
High is for higher speed driving on level, dry surfaces with
light loads.
Low is for low speed driving. Use this range when greater
than normal power or control is required. For example, steep
grades, difficult terrain, heavy loads, slow speed but high
engine speed (spraying).
Important: There is a location between High and Low
in which the transaxle is in neither range. Do not use
this position as a neutral position because the vehicle
could move unexpectedly if the High–Low shifter is
bumped and the gear shift lever is in gear.

Ignition Switch

Use the ignition switch (Figure 10) to start and stop the
engine. It has three positions: Off, On/Preheat, and Start.
Rotate the key clockwise to the Start position to engage the
starter motor. Release the key when the engine starts. The
key will move automatically to the On position. To shut
the engine off, rotate the key counterclockwise to the Off
position.
