4.4 Throttle
The throttle (twist knob) is located on the right side of the dash panel when
seated in the machine. The throttle controls engine rpm.
• Twist the throttle clockwise to increase engine RPM.
• Twist the throttle counter-clockwise to decrease engine RPM.
• Select a lower rpm for work that requires delicate operation of
the machine.
• Select a higher rpm for faster travel speed or when more
power or flow is required for a task.
4.5 Operator Seat
The VT-70 High Output is avail-
able with an optional adjustable
suspension seat.
To adjust preload (air ride):
Rotate the knob clockwise
(press +) for a heavier operator,
counter clockwise (press -) for
lighter operator.
To adjust position (fore/aft):
Move the lever inward toward
the center of the seat, then
slide the seat forward or rear-
ward as needed. Release the
lever to set position
.
To adjust recline:
Rotate the knob clockwise for more recline, counter clockwise for less recline.
4.6 Two Speed (optional)
The VT-70 High Output is available with an optional two-speed drive system. Low
range is best suited to performing strenuous work or operating attachments. High
range is intended mainly for transporting.
To shift between high and low ranges, push the button on the front of the left
joystick. When shifting between ranges, slow the machine to ensure a smooth
transition. The high range indicator (item 12, section 4.1) illuminates to confirm
high range operation.
Note: If the machine is turned off, the lap bar is raised, or the operator exits the
seat, the machine automatically returns to low range.
