Accelerator Pedal
The accelerator pedal ( Figure 8 ) gives you the ability
to vary the ground speed of the sprayer. Pressing the
pedal increases ground speed. Releasing the pedal
slows the sprayer and reduces the engine speed to
idle.

Clutch Pedal
Fully press the clutch pedal ( Figure 8 ) to disengage
the clutch when starting the engine or shifting
transmission gears. Release the pedal smoothly when
the transmission is in gear to prevent unnecessary
wear on the transmission and other related parts.
Important:
Do not ride the clutch pedal during
operation. The clutch pedal must be fully out or
the clutch will slip, causing heat and wear. Never
hold the vehicle stopped on a hill using the clutch
pedal. Damage to the clutch may occur.
Brake Pedal
Use the brake pedal to stop or slow the sprayer
(
Figure 8 ).
CAUTION
Brakes can become worn or can be adjusted
incorrectly resulting in personal injury.
If brake pedal travels to within 2.5 cm (1 inch)
of the sprayer floor board, adjust or repair the
brakes.
Parking Brake
The parking brake is a large lever to the left of the
seat (
Figure 9 ). Engage the parking brake whenever
you plan on leaving the seat to prevent accidental
movement of the sprayer. To engage the parking
brake, pull up and back on the lever. To disengage,
push it forward and down. If the sprayer is parked
on a steep grade, apply the parking brake and place
blocks at the downhill side of the wheels.

Hill Assist
Hill assist prevents the sprayer from rolling or jerking
by temporarily holding the sprayer on hilly terrain
when you move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal. To engage hill assist, engage the
clutch and push down on the brake pedal firmly. When
hill assist is engaged, the hill assist icon appears
on the InfoCenter; refer to the
Multi Pro 1750 Turf
Sprayer Software Guide . Hill assist holds the machine
for 2 seconds after releasing the brake pedal.
Note:
The hill assist only temporarily holds the
machine, you cannot use it in place of the parking
brake.
Differential Lock
The differential lock allows you to lock the rear axle for
increased traction. You may engage the differential
lock (
Figure 7 ) while the sprayer is in motion. Move
the lever forward and to the right to engage the lock.
Note:
You may need to drive the machine forward
while turning slightly to engage or disengage the
differential lock.
