Traction Control Lever
Positions of the Traction Control Lever
(1) Neutral
Place the lever in the left cut-out to put the vehicle
in neutral.
(2) Driving Forwards
Depending upon the position of the field/street
switch, two methods are possible:
Field Position:
The machine is being driven with the throttle. Move
the lever slowly forward to increase the speed during
forward travel.
Move the lever slowly back to reduce the speed dur-
ing forward travel.
Road Position:
The machine is being driven with the accelerator
pedal. Allow the engine to idle (about 800 rpm).
Move the lever forward as far as possible (to select
the direction of travel).
Depress the accelerator pedal to increase the en-
gine speed during forward travel. Allow the accelera-
tor pedal to come up to decrease the speed.
(3) Reversing
Depending upon the position of the field/street
switch, two methods are possible:
Field Position:
The machine is being driven with the throttle. Move
the lever slowly back from the neutral position to
increase the reversing speed. Move the lever slowly
forward to reduce the reversing speed.
Road Position:
The machine is being driven with the accelerator
pedal. Allow the engine to idle (about 800 rpm).
Move the lever back as far as possible (to select the
direction of travel).
Depress the accelerator pedal to increase the en-
gine speed during reversing. Allow the accelerator
pedal to come up to decrease the speed. In case
the vehicle is not braked fast enough with the trac-
tion control lever or the accelerator pedal, it is pos-
sible to use the brake/inching pedal (see operation
of brake/inching pedal on page 3.5).
