Product Description
• The 4200 is a unique
all-wheel-drive
power unit that distributes its weight to four equal sized
fl
otation
tires for excellent control, traction, stability, maneuvering, and braking.
• Performance is enhanced by a sturdy, articulated chassis which oscillates to conform to ground contour
and turns with ease via hydraulic power steering.
• The hydrostatic transmission drive is controlled with Ventrac’s patented S.D.L.A. control, which is
located next to the operator, allowing for easy control of Speed, Direction, Lift, and Auxiliary functions
with one hand.
• The high/low range selector lever enables the operator to shift both transaxles between high and low
range with a single lever.
• The 4200 is equipped with the quick and ef
fi
cient Ventrac Mount System. This allows you to attach over
30 commercial grade attachments in about a minute or less and requires no tools.
Why do I need an Operator’s Manual?
This manual has been created to help you gain the important knowledge of what is needed to safely oper-
ate, maintain, and service your power unit. It is divided into sections for convenient reference of the appro-
priate section.
You must read and understand the operator’s manual for each piece of Ventrac equipment you own. Read-
ing the operator’s manual will help you become familiar with each speci
fi
c piece of equipment. Under-
standing the operator’s manual will help you, as well as others, avoid personal injury and/or damage to
the equipment. Keep this manual with the power unit at all times. Store the manual in the manual holder
located in the storage box to the right of the operator’s seat. The manual should remain with the power unit
even if it is sold. If this manual becomes damaged or unreadable, it should be replaced immediately. Con-
tact your local Ventrac dealer for a replacement.
When using a Ventrac attachment, be sure to read and follow the safety and operating instructions of both
the power unit and the attachment being used to ensure the safest operation possible.
