Using Traction Assist

CAUTION: To prevent tipping, do not attempt to turn on slopes and hills with traction assist engaged.

IMPORTANT: Incorrectly engaging traction assist may damage the transaxle.

Reduce speed before engaging or disengaging traction assist.

The traction assist is used to provide better traction when rear wheels start to slip. Do not use traction assist unless you are experiencing rear wheel slippage. Engaging traction assist will cause both rear wheels to drive equally to improve traction.

Engaging Traction Assist

1. Stop or slow machine down.
2. Push traction assist pedal down to the foot rest. Traction assist will remain engaged as long as pedal is depressed. NOTE: Turning radius is increased when traction assist is engaged.
   

Disengaging Traction Assist

1. Release traction assist pedal.

   Once the load on the transmission is equalized and reduced, the traction assist will disengage automatically.
