Parking Brake (Fig. 11)—Whenever the engine is
shut off, the parking brake must be engaged to pre-
vent accidental movement of the vehicle. To engage
the parking brake, pull back on the lever. To disen-
gage, push lever forward. Make sure the parking
brake is released before moving the vehicle. If the
vehicle is parked on a steep grade, make sure the
parking brake is applied. Also, shift the transmis-
sion into 1st gear on an uphill grade or into reverse
on a down hill grade. Place chocks at the down hill
side of wheels.
Hydraulic Lift (Fig. 11)—Raises and lowers bed.
Move rearward to raise, forward to lower.
IMPORTANT: When lowering the bed, hold the
lever in the forward position for 1 or 2 seconds
after the bed contacts the frame to secure it in the
lowered position. Do not hold the hydraulic lift
in either the raise or lower position for more than
5 seconds after the cylinders have reached the
end of their travel. The hydraulic pump may
overheat, resulting in pump damage.
Hydraulic Lift Lock (Fig. 11)—Locks the lift lever
so the hydraulic cylinders do not operate when vehi-
cle is not equipped with a bed.
Passenger Hand Hold (Fig. 11)—On the left side of
the passenger seat.

A. The vehicle must be completely stopped before
shifting between High and Low range.
B. Shift only on level ground.
C. Depress the clutch pedal fully.
D. Move the lever fully forward for High and fully
rearward for Low.
HIGH is for higher speed driving on level, dry sur-
faces with light loads. LOW is for low-speed dri-
ving. 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. 12)—Lever on right side
of the console lets you adjust the steering wheel for
your comfort.
