Traction and Stopping Pedal
The traction pedal (Figure 7) has 3 functions: to make the
machine move forward, to move it backward, and to stop the
machine. Using the heel and toe of the right foot, depress the
top of the pedal to move forward and the bottom of pedal
to move backward or to assist in stopping when moving
forward (Figure 8). Also, allow the pedal to move or move
it to the neutral position to stop the machine. For operator
comfort, do not the rest heel of the foot on reverse when
operating forward.

Ground speed is proportionate to how the far traction pedal
is depressed. For maximum ground speed, the pedal must
be fully depressed while the throttle is in the Fast position.
To get maximum power or when ascending a hill, have the
throttle in the Fast position while depressing the pedal slightly
to keep the engine RPM high. When the engine RPM begins
to decrease, release the pedal slightly to allow the RPM to
increase.
Important: For maximum pulling power, the throttle
should be in the Fast position and the traction pedal just
barely depressed.
