HOW TO USE THE SPEED CONTROL PEDAL

The drive system uses a Hydrostatic Automatic Drive transmission. The Hydrostatic transmission is very easy to operate. This type of drive system does not require a shift lever or a clutch pedal.

The speed and direction of travel is controlled by a single speed control pedal operated with your right foot. Do not use the left brake pedal in normal operation. Only use the left brake pedal to quickly stop in an emergency.
