CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATIONS
H.S.T. Cruise Control
The H.S.T. Cruise Control switch is located on the
right-hand side of the console and is used to re-
main a constant forward speed, Figure 24.
NOTE: Cruise control will not function in the re-
verse direction.
When the desired travel speed is reached, depress
the top half of the control switch to lock the hydro-
static rocker pedal. A green light will illuminate in-
side the switch indicating the cruise control is en-
gaged. To disengage cruise control, depress the
bottom half of the switch or depress the brake
pedal. The green light will extinguish, indicating
cruise control is off and the hydrostatic rocker
pedal will return to neutral.

high speeds or when roading the trac-
tor.
