   A - Hand Throttle Lever

   B - Speed Range Switch

   C - Multi-Function Lever

   The ladder retracts automatically when the operator sits on the seat and machine start to move.

2. Move the hand throttle lever (A) forward until the maximum engine speed.

   IMPORTANT: Machine can be damaged if the speed range switch (B) is moved from a higher speed range to a lower speed range exceeding 3000 rpm. Speed range can be changed when machine is moving or stopped.

   IMPORTANT: Drivetrain damage can occur if multi-function lever is advanced more than halfway when wheels are spinning.

   NOTE: When machine is started, or has been shut down and restarted, the Chassis Control Unit (CCU) control the speed range.

3. Select the first speed range with the speed range switch (B).

   NOTE: Speed range selected is displayed on the bottom line of Sprayer Main Page.

4. Push multi-function lever (C) slowly forward to start forward motion. Continue pushing lever forward to increase ground speed. Change speed range switch to higher speed range when engine reaches maximum rpm.

   IMPORTANT: If engine is under load, and the engine speed is below 2000 rpm for an extended period, the engine and the drivetrain can overheat. To reduce engine load, slightly pull back multi-function lever (C) to reduce engine load.

   For satisfactory performance, with lower fuel consumption, observe the following recommendations:

   • Under lower load conditions use engine speed at 1800 rpm.
   • Under higher load conditions use engine speed at 2450 rpm.
   • Reduce speed during maneuvers.
   • Avoid engine overload. When engine is not responding to the engine speed increase, or when there is a drop of 200 rpm or more in rotation, it is overload.

     When operating in an uphill ground, and realize that the engine is overload, pull back the multi-function lever (C) as needed.

   
   

5. To engage reverse gear, move multi-function lever to neutral position, and press service brake pedal to stop machine. Move multi-function lever (C) back until reverse gear position.

   NOTE: To have maximum tractive effort, machine has to be in first speed range.
