7. Drive Speed/Torque Select
Drive Speed/Torque Select is a three position switch The for-
ward position gives maximum drive speed by shifting the
drive motors to minimum the displacement and giving high
engine when drive controller is moved. The back position
gives maximum torque for rough terrain and climbing
grades by shifting the wheel motors to maximum displace-
ment and giving high engine speed when the drive control-
ler is moved. The center position allows the machine to be
driven as quietly as possible by leaving the engine at mid
speed and the drive motors in minimum displacement or
fastest speed.
