Danger
Under certain conditions, fuel and fuel vapors are
highly flammable and explosive. A fire or
explosion from fuel can burn you and others and
can cause property damage.
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in
an open area, when the engine is off and is cold.
Wipe up any fuel that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel
to the fuel tank until the level is to the bottom of
the filler neck.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container
and keep the cap in place.
Controls
Service Brakes
The left and right brake pedals (Fig. 18) are connected to
the left and right front wheels. Since both brakes work
independently of each other, the brakes can be used to turn
sharply or to increase traction if one wheel tends to slip
while operating on certain slope conditions. However, wet
grass or soft turf could be damaged when brakes are used to
turn sharply. To make a "quick-stop", depress both brake
pedals together. Always lock brakes together when
transporting the traction unit.

Traction Pedal
Traction pedal (Fig. 20) has two functions: one is to make
the machine move forward, the other is to make it move
rearward. Using the heel and toe of the right foot, depress
top of pedal to move forward and bottom of pedal to move
rearward. Ground speed is proportionate to how far pedal is
depressed. For maximum ground speed, traction pedal must
be fully depressed while throttle is in FAST position.
Maximum speed forward is 10 mph (16 Km/hr) (approx.).
To get maximum power under heavy load or when
ascending a hill, have throttle in FAST position while
depressing traction pedal slightly to keep engine rpm high.
When engine rpm begins to decrease, release traction pedal
slightly to allow rpm to increase.
