sary to apply an amount of forward or reverse traction to hold the
vehicle stationary on a slope.
NOTES:
• Use complete foot to operate both forward and reverse.
• Unless in an emergency, do not move the pedal suddenly, always
operate slowly and carefully. Do not move the pedal with force from
forward to reverse or reverse to forward.
• The angle of the Foot Pedal can be altered to obtain the most comfortable angle for long periods of operation.
This can be achieved by repositioning screws (D) as required.
• The foot should always be kept firmly on the pedal to maintain full control of the drive pedal.
