Transport/Aeration Switch
Use the transport/aeration switch ( Figure 21 ) to control
the maximum speed you can drive the machine while
aerating or transporting the machine.
•
The
AERATION
position allows aeration and limits
ground speed to 4.0 kph (2.5 mph) or slower.
•
The
TRANSPORT
position allows you to drive the
machine at full ground speed or slower between
job sites.
Note:
You cannot aerate with the
transport/aeration switch in the
TRANSPORT
position.
Traction Controls
Use the left or right traction control ( Figure 21 ) to drive
the machine forward or backward.
Speed-Lock Switch—Transport Mode
Use the speed-lock switch ( Figure 21 ) to maintain the
ground speed at which you drive the machine; similar

position—activates and engages the
ground-speed lock to maintain the ground speed
at the aeration hole spacing rate when you release
the aerate bail at the end of an aeration pass.
