DRIVING
To enable full forward transport speed, The vehicle needs to be set to either Automatic or Manual mode from the
Main menu (Section.6.5.2) and the Cutter PTO switch off. (Section.6.2.E)
1. Release Brake - Make sure the Park Brake is released before you
try to go forward or in reverse.
2. Forward - Carefully push the top (A) of the Forward / Reverse Foot
Pedal until desired forward ground speed is achieved.
3. Reverse - Carefully push the bottom (B) of the Forward / Reverse
Foot Pedal until desired reverse ground speed is achieved.
4. To Stop - Carefully return the Forward / Reverse Foot Pedal to the
neutral position ensuring your foot remains in contact with the
pedal at all times.
5. To hold - Whilst the vehicle has stopped on a slope it may be nec-
essary 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 (C) as required.
The foot should always be kept firmly on the pedal to maintain full control
of the drive pedal, both whilst accelerating and decelerating the vehicle.
MOWING
