CONTROL PEDALS

The Direction/Speed Pedal controls speed and
direction. Depress front of pedal to go forward,
depress back of pedal to go backward. Increased
movement of the pedal will increase speed. To slow
and stop the unit, release the pedal completely.
Proper braking is provided by hydrostatic pressure. If
more braking is required, press on the brake pedal.
WARNING
!
DO NOT attempt to force the direction control
pedal to the neutral (stop) position or to
change directions before coming to a
complete stop. Abrupt stops or changes in
direction may cause injury.
NOTE
To reduce fatigue during normal forward operation,
the operator's heel should rest on the floorboard
next to the pedal (not on the lower part of the
pedal).

PARKING BRAKE PEDAL

The Parking Brake can be engaged by depressing
the brake pedal until the unit is at a complete stop.
Once the unit is stoped, push the parking brake
latch foward to hold the brake pedal. Disengage the
parking brake by depressing and releasing the brake
pedal.
