WARNING
Before beginning any service work, turn the PTO
off, set the parking brake, turn the ignition switch
off, remove the key, disconnect the spark plug
wire, and disconnect the negative battery cable.

General Drive Control Service

The drive controls consist of the following sub-systems:
A. Cruise Control
B. Ground Speed Control
C. Differential Lock
D. Two Speed Control
E. Parking Brake
F. Brake Control
The brake control and parking brake are covered in more
detail in Section 12, BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICE.
Since much of the drive control components are inter-
connected, only some portions of the brake system are
also covered in this section. If the brake system is being
serviced, refer to that section first because only those
components are covered as it pertains to the other sub-
systems.
For easy access to the drive system components, it is
recommended that the seat deck and tunnel be
removed, refer to sections 14 and 15.
