Note:
When going downhill in the machine, you
may need to use the reverse pedal to stop.

Practice driving around obstacles with the cutting
units up and down. Be careful when driving
between narrow objects so that you do not damage
the machine or cutting units.

Using the Traction Pedal

This pedal controls the forward and reverse speed
of the machine and the dynamic braking when you
return it to neutral.
•
This machine has an automotive-style throttle
—the engine speed and the machine speed
respond to the pedal movement.
•
While transporting, the traction pedal will operate
similar to a car and change the engine and traction
speed dependent on the traction pedal position.
•
While mowing, the engine automatically raises to
high idle to optimize mowing performance, and the
traction pedal only controls traction speed.
•
The further you push the pedal forward or reverse,
the faster the machine moves.
•
To control the machine to a smooth stop while
transporting or mowing, use your foot to return the
traction pedal to neutral at your desired rate.
•
To engage maximum braking, remove your foot
from the traction pedal, allowing it to return to
neutral. The machine dynamically brakes to a
stop.
This traction system allows you to customize the
acceleration settings for operator comfort and course
conditions. Refer to Accessing Protected Menus
(page 30) for changing the settings.

Using the Virtual Pedal
Stop (VPS) Feature

temporarily set a maximum traction speed that is less
than the password-protected supervisor maximum
traction speed.
To temporarily set the maximum speed of the
machine, press the traction pedal fully forward

and transport range

To access this feature, select the InfoCenter
middle button from the main screen
Note:
This feature reverts back to the supervisor
maximum speed settings when the key is switched

traction speed (pedal stop)
•
This feature allows you to customize the speed
settings for your comfort level, or to customize the
speed settings to fit the application.
Whenever the max traction speed is changed via the
supervisor max speed settings or Virtual Pedal Stop,
the traction pedal is automatically reprogrammed to
use the full pedal stroke between neutral and the
new max speed. This means the operator gains
more precise control of the traction speed at lower
maximum speed settings.
Tips for Using Virtual Pedal Stop
(VPS)
