Driving Forward or
Backward
The throttle control regulates the engine speed as
measured in RPM (revolutions per minute). Place
the throttle control in the fast position for best
performance.
To go forward or backward, release the parking
brake: refer to Releasing the Parking Brake in
Brake Maintenance, page 37 . Place your foot on the
traction control pedal and slowly press on the top of
the traction control pedal to move forward or on the
bottom of the traction control pedal to move backward
(Figure 21 ). The farther you move the traction control
pedal in either direction, the faster the machine will
move in that direction.
Note: For reverse motion, with the PTO engaged,
the operating-in-reverse interlock must be deactivated
by the KeyChoice® switch located on the seat bracket
on the right hand side just below the seat.
To slow down, release the pressure on the traction
control pedal.
Important: To avoid transmission damage,
always release the parking brake before moving
the traction control pedal.
