Traction Pedal
The traction pedal ( Figure 9 ) controls forward and
reverse operation. Press the top of the pedal to move
forward and the bottom to move backward.
To stop the machine, use 1 of the following
procedures:
•
Reduce your foot pressure on the traction pedal
and allow it to return to the center position. The
machine dynamically brakes to a smooth stop.
•
Tap or hold the reverse pedal briefly. This stops
the machine faster than dynamic braking.
Note:
In emergency braking situations, press the
service brake pedals in addition to using the reverse
pedal as stated above. This is the quickest way to
stop the machine.
Brake Pedals
There are 2 foot pedals that operate individual wheel
brakes for turning assistance, parking, and to aid in
better side-hill traction. A latch connects the pedals
for parking-brake operation and transport (
Figure 9 ).
Pedal-Locking Latch
The pedal-locking latch connects the pedals together
to engage the parking brake (
Figure 9 ).
Parking-Brake Pedal
To engage the parking brake, ( Figure 9 ) connect the
pedals together with the pedal-locking latch and push
down on the right brake pedal while engaging the toe
pedal. To release the parking brake, press 1 of the
brake pedals until the parking brake latch retracts.
Tilt-Steering Pedal
Press the tilt-steering pedal to tilt the steering wheel
to the desired position, then release the pedal to lock
the adjustment (
Figure 9 ).
