High Range Ground Speed Operation
We recommend HIGH RANGE ground speed operation be
performed only on roads with the cutting units in fully
raised position. Start the machine in LOW RANGE, then
shift to HIGH RANGE. The HIGH RANGE Indicator light
will turn ON, indicating the machine is in the HIGH
RANGE mode. To cease HIGH RANGE operation, take
foot off traction pedal and apply the brakes. Move throttle
lever to SLOW and position ground speed selector in LOW
RANGE. If the engine begins to labor while climbing an
incline, ease off on the traction pedal and shift to LOW
RANGE. This will prevent overload of the engine and
hydraulic system.
Caution
• Use extreme care while operating in HIGH
RANGE ground speed selection.
• Watch closely for bystanders, other vehicles and
possible hidden hazards and be prepared to stop
quickly.
Cruise Control Operation
While operating the machine at the desired ground speed,
turn the cruise control switch to ON and press the cruise
control actuating button. The traction pedal will be held in
its position and a constant ground speed will be maintained.
A light on the steering column indicates the cruise control
is in operation. Ground speed can be changed by
over–riding the traction pedal. The pedal will maintain its
new position when the over–riding force is released.
To stop cruise control operation, turn cruise control switch
to OFF position or depress the service brake.
Note: Hold the traction pedal in position when stopping
cruise control operation, otherwise the machine will stop
abruptly due to hydrostatic braking action.
If it is an emergency and it becomes necessary to stop
suddenly while in cruise control, depress the service brake
pedal, this breaks the electrical circuit, returns the traction
pedal to neutral and stops the machine.
Stopping the Machine
To stop the machine and cease operation, take foot off
traction pedal and apply the brakes. Move the throttle lever
to SLOW, ground speed selector to LOW RANGE and
deck lift controls to neutral. Switch cruise control to OFF,
set the parking brake and turn ignition key to OFF. Remove
the key if the machine is to be left unattended.
Important
Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes
before shutting if off after a full load operation. Failure to
do so may lead to turbo–charger failure.
