Operator's Manual
To maintain somewhat constant engine speed,
depress traction pedal slowly. This allows the engine to
keep up with ground speed of the vehicle. By contrast,
pushing down quickly on the traction pedal will reduce
engine rpm and, as a result, there will not be enough
torque-power-to move the vehicle. Therefore, to
transfer maximum power to the wheels, move throttle
to FAST and slightly depress traction pedal. By
comparison, maximum ground speed with no load
results when throttle is in FAST position and traction
pedal is slowly but fully depressed. In summary, always
keep engine speed high enough to deliver maximum
torque-power-to the wheels.
At the completion of operation, after engine has
cooled, thoroughly wash the machine with a garden
hose - without a nozzle - so excessive water pressure
will not cause contamination and damage to seals and
bearings.
Make sure cooling fins and area around engine cooling
air intake are kept free of debris. After cleaning, it is
recommended the machine be inspected for possible
hydraulic fluid leaks, damage or wear to hydraulic and
mechanical components.
