Accelerator Pedal
The accelerator pedal (Fig. 12) gives you the ability to vary
ground speed of the sprayer. Pressing the pedal increases
ground speed. Releasing the pedal will slow the sprayer and
the engine will idle.

Parking Brake
The parking brake is a large lever to the right of the seat.
(Fig. 13). Engage the parking brake whenever you plan on
leaving the seat to prevent accidental movement of the
sprayer. To engage the parking brake, pull up and back on
the lever. To disengage, push it forward and down. If the
sprayer is parked on a steep grade, apply the parking brake
and place blocks at the downhill side of the wheels.

Speed Limiter
The speed limiter is a large knob located to the right of the
seat (Fig. 14). It allows you to set the maximum downward
travel of the accelerator pedal, there-by limiting the
maximum speed of the sprayer.
Note: The vehicle controls the application rate based on
your speed and you do not need to keep a constant speed to
apply at a constant rate.
