FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
QUICK STOP MODE
SWITCH
The Quick Stop Mode of Braking (Also known as the "Inching Control System") allows
the operator to stop the machine while working at low speeds (Using 2
nd or 3 rd gear
and traveling at 5 mph or slower) using only the brake pedal. When the Quick Stop
Mode is activated, application of the brake pedal automatically neutralizes the pump
swash plate, enabling the operator to stop the machine more quickly.
For braking at speeds greater than 5 mph, the Quick Stop Mode MUST be deactivated
and the track drive system neutralized before using the brake pedal or else the track
drive system could become damaged.
SUSPENSION
LOCKOUT SWITCH

A stiffer ride can be achieved using the suspension lock-out switch. This may be
preferable for some work operations under 12 mph.
Damage to the machine may occur if you lock or unlock the suspension
While the machine is moving. Always bring the machine to a complete
Stop prior to locking or unlocking the suspension.
NOTE: Do not lockout suspension when working or travelling at speeds greater than
12 mph.
