Travel operation can be performed with either the levers or
pedals.

WARNING: In the standard travel position, the front
idlers are positioned at the front of the machine and
the travel motors at the rear. If the travel motors are
positioned at the front of the machine, the control
actions of the travel pedals will be reversed. Be sure
to confirm the position of the travel motors before
traveling.
f
NOTE: Travel lever dampers are provided for smooth control.
In extremely cold weather (lower than -20 °C (-68 °F)), the
travel lever (or pedal) will become heavy to operate. This is
caused by increase in oil viscosity which is not abnormal.
• Forward/Reverse Travel
Move both levers (or pedals) forward together to travel
forward.
Pull the levers (or pedals) back together to travel in
reverse. The travel speed can be controlled by adjusting
the lever (or pedal) operating stroke.
• Ascending/Descending Slopes
The machine gradeability is 25 ° (47 %). Slowly operate the
travel levers (or pedals) when descending a slope. When
the travel levers are placed in neutral, the travel brakes
are automatically applied to stop the machine.
f
NOTE: The travel pedal on this machine is a folding type.
When traveling the machine using the travel pedals, unfold
the pedals.
