The transmission foot pedal is situated on the right
hand foot plate by the steering column cowl.
Push down on the front of the pedal for forward and
push down on the rear of the pedal for reverse drive.
The speed of the machine is increased by
depressing the pedal further down. The pedal will be
returned to the neutral position automatically when
the foot pressure is released. Maximum transport
speed of 25 km/h (15 mp/h) can only be achieved
with forward/reverse hydraulic cylinder drive lever (B

drive of the machine.
When the lever is moved out of the neutral position,
forward cutting speed of 0-12.5 km/h (0-7.5 mp/h) is
selected and reverse speed of 0-6 km/h (0-3.7 mp/h)
is available. The lever MUST NOT be moved unless
the machine is stationary.
