HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION

－ － － － H.S.T. CONTROLS(OPTIONAL)
H.S.T. FOOT PEDAL
The ground speed of tractors equipped with the
hydrostatic transmission is continuously variable,
from zero to full rated speed in each range.
Speed is controlled by the H.S.T. rocker pedal on
the right side of the transmission, Figure 22.
Depress the forward pad on the pedal for forward
travel, to the position that provides the desired
ground speed.
For reverse travel, depress the rear pad on the
pedal.
Releasing the pedal returns the transmission to
Neutral, and stops the tractor, unless the H.S.T
speed control switch is in the "LOCK" position.
