CHAPTER 5. CONTROLS AND METERS
3.1. MASTER BRAKE PEDAL
The front mower stops travelling by depressing this pedal,
which engage the right and left brakes at the same time.
3.2. HST FORWARD TRAVEL PEDAL
Depress this pedal, and the front mower starts moving for-
ward. Forward travelling speed is controlled only by
depressing it: forward travel accelerates and decelerates
by the extent the pedal is depressed.
3.3. HST REVERSE TRAVEL PEDAL
Depress this pedal, and the front mower starts reversing.
Reverse travelling speed is controlled only by depressing
it: reverse travel accelerates and decelerates by the
extent the pedal is depressed.
3.4. INDEPENDENT BRAKE PEDAL (RH)(E6 type)
This pedal affects the right-hand front wheel brake alone.
3.5. INDEPENDENT BRAKE PEDAL (LH)(E6 type)
This pedal affects the left-hand front wheel brake alone.
WARNING:
• Never operate the independent brake pedal
during travelling as this will cause the front
mower to skid sideways or turn over. When
stopping, be sure to use the master brake
pedal.
• Connect the independent brake pedal except
necessary situation.
IMPORTANT: •
Use of the independent brake may dam-
age the turf, so don’t use it during oper-
ation on turfs.
•
When making a quick turn within a
garage or a barn, do this at sufficiently
slow speed.
3.6. DIF-LOCK PEDAL
To minimize the turning radius of the front mower, the dif-
ferential is installed, which causes the right and left driving
wheels to turn at different speed when turning. On the
other hand, it causes the wheels to slip on wet grass or
soft ground. In such a case, lower engine speed and
depress the dif-lock pedal, and then the differential is
locked and both wheels turn at the same speed, which
results in straighter travelling.
WARNING:
• Never use the dif-lock when travelling at
high speeds.
• It is very dangerous to attempt to turn the front
mower with the dif-lock pedal depressed.
When turning the front mower, be sure to
release the dif-lock pedal.
• When the dif-lock is not released despite
releasing the dif-lock pedal, stop the front
mower immediately and ask your dealer to
repair.
