to 1 of the following positions:
•
Move the lever forward (toward the front of the
machine) to move the machine forward
•
Move the lever rearward (toward the rear of the
machine) to move the machine in reverse
47).
Note: Move the lever completely forward or rearward
for the maximum speed.

traction-adjustment-control lever. If you use the foot
pedal, you must move the traction-adjustment-control
lever to the Neutral position to release the override and
return the lever to normal operation.
Stopping the Machine
WARNING

This machine has hydrostatic braking. When you remove
your foot from the ground-drive foot pedal or move the
utility-traction control back to the Neutral position, the
machine stops. Always apply the parking brake after you stop
the machine and before you stop the engine.
