forward and the bottom to move backward. Ground
speed depends on how far the pedal is pressed. For
maximum ground speed, fully press the pedal while the
throttle is in the Fast position. For maximum power
under load or when going uphill, keep the engine rpm
high by having the throttle in the Fast position and the
traction pedal held stationary against the ground speed
limiter. If the engine rpm begins to decrease due to load,
gradually reduce the traction pedal pressure until the
engine speed is increased.
To stop, reduce foot pressure on the traction pedal and
allow it to return to the center position. On extreme
downhill slopes, apply pressure to the reverse side of the
pedal, or operate with your heel on the Reverse and toe
on the Forward portion of the pedal.

Ground Speed Limiter
The ground speed limiter (Figure 6) controls the traction
pedal movement. The limiter lever helps control the
rate of clip and eliminates sudden speed variations over
rough terrain.
Important: The cam lever nut (Figure 6, Inset) can
be tightened if the limiter stop will not hold the
traction pedal in the desired position.

Transport Latches

These latches secure the cutting units in the upright
position for transport operation. The latch for the
front cutting units is foot–operated (Figure 6). The
hand-operated latches control the center and outside
cutting units (Figure 7).

Cutting Unit Lift Controls
The two outside levers (Figure 8) raise and lower the two
outside cutting units. The center lever raises and lowers
the two front and the center cutting units. The engine
must be running to lower the cutting units. When the
cutting units are lifted, the reels automatically stop. Do
not allow the levers to snap back to neutral, or cutting

units may not float freely.
