Traction Pedal
The traction pedal (Fig. 17) controls forward and reverse
operation. Depress top of pedal to move forward and
bottom to move backward. Ground speed depends on how
far pedal is depressed. For no load, maximum ground
speed, fully depress pedal while throttle is in FAST. For
maximum power under load or when going uphill, keep
engine rpm high by having throttle in FAST and traction
pedal partially engaged. If engine rpm begins to decrease
due to load, gradually reduce traction pedal pressure until
engine speed is increased.
