Parking Brake (Fig. 22)—Whenever the engine is
shut off, the parking brake must be engaged to prevent
accidental movement of the vehicle. To engage the
parking brake, pull back on lever. To disengage, push
lever forward. Make sure parking brake is released
before moving vehicle. If vehicle is parked on a steep
grade, make sure parking brake is applied. Also, shift
the transmission into 1st gear on a uphill grade or
reverse on a down hill grade. Place chocks at the down
hill side of wheels.
Hydraulic Lift (Fig. 22)—Raises and lowers bed.
Move rearward to raise, forward to lower.
Important
When lowering bed, hold lever in forward
position for 1 or 2 seconds after bed contacts frame to
secure it in lowered position. Do not hold the
hydraulic lift in either the raise or lower position, for
more than 5 seconds, once the cylinders have reached
the end of their travel. The hydraulic pump may over
heat, resulting in pump damage.
Hydraulic Lift Lock (Fig. 22)—Locks lift lever so
hydraulic cylinders do not operate when vehicle is not
equipped with a bed.
Remote Hydrualic Lever (Fig 22)—Controls
hydraulic flow to optional quick rear couplers.
High-Low Range Shifter (Fig. 22)—Adds three
additional speeds for precise speed control.
A. Vehicle must be completely stopped before
shifting between High and Low range.

C. Depress clutch pedal fully.
D. Move lever fully forward for High and fully
rearward for Low.
HIGH is for higher speed driving on level, dry surfaces
with light loads.
LOW is for low speed driving. Use this range when
greater than normal power or control is required. For
example, steep grades, difficult terrain, heavy loads,
slow speed but high engine speed (spraying).
NOTE: There is a location between HIGH and LOW
in which the transaxle is in neither range. This should
not be used as a neutral position because the vehicle
could move unexpectedly if the HIGH-LOW shifter is
bumped and the gear shift lever is in gear.
Tilt Steering Lever (Fig. 23)—Lever on right side of
console allows steering wheel to be adjusted for
operator comfort.
Coolant Temperature Gauge (Fig. 23)—Registers
coolant temperature in engine. Operates only when
ignition switch is in On position.
Horn Button (Fig. 23)—Pressing button activates
horn.

Engine Low-Oil Pressure Light (Fig. 23)—Light
glows if engine oil pressure drops below a safe level
while engine is running. If light flickers or remains
ON, stop vehicle, turn off engine and check oil level. If
oil level was low, but adding oil does not cause light to
go out when engine is restarted, turn engine off
