GENERAL OPERATION
Operation - 38
High/Low Range
CAUTION
Never shift range while under load, while moving, or
while on a slope. Always ensure the shift lever is se-
cured in the lock position at the end of the shift stroke.
Always install the ball pin to prevent the shift lever
from accidentally moving to the neutral position.
Always use low range when operating on slopes of
greater than 15 degrees.
Low range is recommended for most pulling, pushing,
and slow travel. High range is ideal for transport and
light duty tasks.
1. Park the power unit on level ground and engage
the parking brake.
2. Remove the ball pin and move the shift lever to
the desired range position.
ATTENTION
Occasionally the engagement of the transaxle gears
is prevented by misalignment. Moving the steering
wheel slightly to the right or left will move the gears
enough to complete the engagement.
3. Reinstall the ball pin to lock the shift lever in place.
Turning Radius
The 4500 power unit has three mounting positions for
the steering cylinder that determine the power unit’s
turning radius.
1.
1
2
3
Standard position:
this position is the standard
position and enables the tightest turning radius.
2.
Dual wheel position:
the steering cylinder must
be installed in this position when operating with
dual wheels. The resulting turning radius is larger
than position number 1.
3.
Cab and Versa-loader position:
the steering cyl-
inder must be installed in this position when a cab
is installed or when operating the Versa-loader.
The resulting turning radius is larger than position
number 2.
