Operating Transmission

1. IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Select the proper speed range and gear for the job:

   • Never overload engine by lugging machine at low idle speeds.
   • Raise engine speed to match expected loads. If a slight increase in engine rpm occurs simultaneously with moving engine speed control knob (B) forward, engine is not overloaded.
   
   

   The transmission range shift lever (A) provides three speed ranges and is used in conjunction with the forward travel pedal (C) and reverse travel pedal (D).
