Travel Controls
Forward, reverse and turning functions are

Joysticks” on page 55.
Travel Speed Range Selection
The machine has 2 travel speed ranges and one
changeable speed limit option.
Pressing the speed range select button (K, Fig. 31)
on the left control joystick toggles between the two
speed ranges. Indicator (H) is lit when the high-
speed travel range is selected; indicator (H) goes out
when low-speed range is selected.
NOTE:
Low-speed range is automatically
selected when the machine is started.
• Low-speed range:
–Model RT175: 0-8.2 kph (0-5.1 mph).
–Models RT210/RT250: 0-8.7 kph (0-5.4
mph).
• High-speed range:
–Model RT175: 0-12.1 kph (0-7.5 mph).
–Model RT210/RT250: 0-12.7 kph (0-7.9
mph).
Reduce speed before shifting from high to low
travel speed. Down-shifting from high- to low-
speed drive while traveling at high speed may
cause the machine to tip and can cause injury,
loss of control and damage to the machine.
NOTE: Use the low-speed range for loading,
unloading, and operations requiring precise speed
control. Use the high-speed range for distance
traveling.
Travel Speed Limit (Option)
Travel speed limiting allows for fine control over
slower travel speeds.
When the travel speed limit option is activated, ten
levels of speed limiting can be selected using the
high/low speed selector button (K, Fig. 36).
NOTE:
See “Travel Speed Limit Option
Operation” on page 66 for details about using the
travel speed limit option when it is activated.
