Parking Brake
Whenever the engine is shut off, set the parking brake (Figure
7) in order to prevent the machine from accidentally moving.
•
To set the parking brake, pull back on the lever.
•
To release, push the lever forward.
Note: Release the parking brake before moving the
machine.
If you park the machine on a steep grade, set the parking
brake, shift the transmission into first gear on a uphill grade
or reverse gear on a down hill grade, and place chocks at the
down hill side of the wheels.
Hydraulic Lift
The hydraulic lift raises and lowers the bed. Move it rearward
to raise the bed, and forward to lower it (Figure 7).
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, once the cylinders
have reached the end of their travel.
Hydraulic-lift Lock
The hydraulic-lift lock locks the lift lever, so the hydraulic
cylinders do not operate when the machine is not equipped
with a bed (Figure 7). It also locks the lift lever in the On
position when using the hydraulics for attachments.
High–Low Range Shifter
The high–low range shifter adds 3 additional speeds for
precise speed control (Figure 7).
•
The machine must be completely stopped before shifting
between the High and Low range.

6. High–low range shifter
•
Shift only on level ground.
•
Press the clutch pedal fully.
•
Move the 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).
Important: There is a location between High and Low
in which the transaxle is in neither range. Do not use
this position 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.
Ignition Switch
Use the ignition switch (Figure 8) to start and stop the
engine. It has 3 positions: Off, On, and Start. Rotate the key
clockwise to the Start position to engage the starter motor.
Release the key when the engine starts. The key will move
automatically to the On position. To shut the engine off,
rotate the key counterclockwise to the Off position.
