Traction and Stopping Pedal (Fig. 4–5)—The traction pedal has
three functions: one, to make the machine move forward, two, to
move it backward and three, to stop the machine. Using the heel
and toe of your right foot, depress the top of the pedal to move for-
ward and bottom of the pedal to move backward or to assist in
stopping when moving forward. Also, allow the pedal to move or
move it to the neutral position to stop the machine. For operator
comfort, do not rest the heel of your foot on reverse when operat-
ing forward (Fig. 5).
Ground speed is proportionate to how far the traction pedal is
depressed. For maximum ground speed, the pedal must be fully
depressed while the throttle is in the FAST position. To get maxi-
mum power or when ascending a hill, have the throttle in the
FAST position while depressing the pedal slightly to keep engine
rpm high. When engine rpm begins to decrease, release the pedal
slightly to allow rpm to increase.
IMPORTANT: For maximum pulling power, the throttle
should be in the “Fast” position, and the traction pedal just
barely depressed.
IMPORTANT: The SAND PRO must not be operated in
reverse with the implement in the down (operating) position, or
the implement could be severely damaged.
Ignition Switch (Fig.6)—The ignition switch, used to start and
stop the engine, has three positions: OFF, RUN and START. Turn
the key clockwise—START position—to engage the starter motor.
Release the key when the engine starts. The key will move auto-
matically to the ON position. To shut the engine off, turn the key
counterclockwise to the OFF position.
Choke Control (Fig. 6)—To start a cold engine, close the carbure-
tor choke by pulling the choke control out to the ON position.
After the engine starts, regulate the choke to keep the engine run-
ning smoothly. As soon as possible, open the choke by pushing it
downward to the OFF position. A warm engine requires little or no
choking.
Throttle Control (Fig. 6) —Lever connects to and operates the
throttle linkage to the carburetor. The trottle control has two posi-
Controls
Use the maximum ground speed ONLY when driving from one
area to another. Maximum speed is not recommended when
using an attached or towed implement.
