Brake Pedal
The brake pedal (Figure 5) is used to apply service brakes
to stop or slow vehicle.
CAUTION
Worn or maladjusted brakes may result in personal
injury. If the brake pedal travels to within 3.8 cm
(1-1/2 inches) of the vehicle floor board, the brakes
must be adjusted or repaired.
Gear Shift Lever
Fully press the clutch pedal and move the shift lever (Figure
5) into the desired gear selection. A diagram of the shift
pattern is indicated in Figure 6.
Important: Do not shift the transaxle to the reverse or
forward gear unless the vehicle is standing still. Damage
to the transaxle may occur.
CAUTION
Down shifting from too high a speed can cause
the rear wheels to skid resulting in loss of vehicle
control as well as clutch and/or transmission
damage. Shift smoothly to avoid grinding gears.
Differential Lock
The differential lock allows rear axle to be locked for increased
traction. The differential lock (Figure 7) may be engaged
when the vehicle is in motion. Move the lever forward and to
the right to engage the lock.
Note: Vehicle motion plus a slight turn is required to engage
or disengage differential lock.
CAUTION
Turning with the differential lock on can result
in loss of vehicle control. Do not operate with
differential lock on when making sharp turns or at
high speeds. Refer to Adjusting the Differential
Lock Cable (page 42).

Parking Brake
Whenever the engine is shut off, the parking brake (Figure
7) 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 7).
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 7). 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 7).
•
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.
