How to Use the Speed Control Pedal
The drive system uses a Hydrostatic Automatic Drive
transmission. The Hydrostatic transmission is very easy to
operate. This type of drive system does not require a shift
lever or a clutch pedal.
The speed and direction of travel is controlled by a single
speed control pedal operated with your right foot. Do not use
the left brake pedal in normal operation. Only use the left
brake pedal to quickly stop in an emergency.
