Operate the Hydrostatic Transmission

1. Avoid damage! Select the proper speed range 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 throttle lever (B) forward, engine is not overloaded.
   
   

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

   A - Transmission Range Lever

   B - Throttle Lever

   C - Forward Travel Pedal

   D - Reverse Travel Pedal

   Choose a speed range to match work application.
   • L – Low speed operations such as tilling hard soil, mowing long grass, or heavy hauling. Machine speed is decreased, but machine power is increased.
   • N – Neutral position. Lever must be in the N (neutral) position when starting the engine.
   • H – High-speed operations such as light tilling and hauling, mowing short grass and transport. Machine speed is increased, but machine power is decreased.
   
   

   When changing speed range, stop the machine.
