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.

6. High–low range shifter
• Shift only on level ground.
• Press clutch pedal fully.
• Move the lever fully forward for High and fully
rearward for Low.
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.
