1.With the engine running, adjust the engine speed control to the “FAST” position.

2.Depress the clutch/brake pedal (A, Figure 11).

3.Place the transmission shift lever (A, Figure 12) into the first forward speed notch (B).

4.Release the clutch/brake pedal to begin forward motion.

5.During forward motion, the transmission shift lever may be placed in any desired forward speed without depressing the clutch/brake pedal.
