PTO (Power Take Off)
The PTO (power take off) light will be on when the key is
in the run or lights positions and the PTO (power take off)
is engaged on. When this light is on it is a reminder; the
starter will not crank and turn off the PTO before getting
off.
Driving Forward or Backward
The throttle control regulates the engine speed as
measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Place the
throttle control in the fast position for best performance.
To go forward or backward, release the parking brake:
refer to Releasing the Parking Brake, page 15. Place your
foot on the traction control pedal and slowly press on the
top of the traction control pedal to move forward or on the
bottom of the traction control pedal to move backward
(Fig. 10). The farther you move the traction control pedal
in either direction, the faster the machine will move in
that direction.
Note: For reverse motion, with the PTO engaged, the
operating-in-reverse interlock must be deactivated by the
KeyChoice switch located on the seat bracket on the right
hand side just below the seat.
To slow down, release the pressure on the traction control
pedal.
Important
To avoid transmission damage, always
release the parking brake before moving the traction
control pedal.
