(N & O)
(Speed, Direction, Lift, and Auxiliary Control Levers)
The S.D.L.A. is the primary control for the tractor
and consists of two parts: The primary lever (N) con-
trols the Speed, Direction of machine & Lift of the
machine hitch arms. The secondary lever (O) con-
trols the Auxiliary hydraulic circuit of the machine.
S – Speed: The amount of forward or backward
movement of this lever controls the ground speed of
the machine.
D - Direction: The forward or backward movement
of the lever controls the direction of the machine.
L – Lift: The lift function of the lever has four posi-
tions: Up, Hold, Down, and Float Lock. “Hold”
is the default position; this holds the lift arms from
moving up or down. Pulling the lever to the left
raises the hitch arms. Pushing the lever to the right
lowers the hitch arms. Float position is attained by
pushing the lever to the right until the fl oat detent
locks the lever in place.
A - Auxiliary: The left or right movement of the sec-
ondary lever controls the functions of attachments
that require the auxiliary hydraulic circuit.

1 - S.D.L.A. control lever has a “spring assist to
neutral” action. When removing your hand from
the S.D.L.A. control lever it will automatically return
to neutral. This position makes neutral easy to fi nd
and maintain. It is recommended that this position
be used when learning the operation of the Ventrac,
loading & unloading, attaching and removing attach-
ments and whenever the operator is working in tight
areas or unsure of the machines response to the
task being performed.
2 - S.D.L.A. control lever is in an “easy shift mode”.
This position is recommended for operating the
tractor in open areas where travel speed and direc-
tion are relatively constant and control is easily
maintained. Easy shift mode reduces operator arm
fatigue when using the tractor for prolonged periods
of time. Note: Stopping in this position requires the
operator to return the S.D.L.A. control lever or foot
pedal to the neutral position.
