SECTION 2 – OPERATION

HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION (H.S.T.)
MODEL
H.S.T. FOOT PEDAL
The ground speed of tractors equipped with a
hydrostatic transmission is continuously variable,
from zero to full rated speed in each range.
Speed is controlled by the H.S.T. forward ①
and reverse ② pedals, located on the RH side
of the foot platform.
For forward travel, depress the forward pedal
until the desired ground speed is reached. For
reverse travel, depress the reverse pedal. The
transmission returns to neutral and the tractor
stops when either pedal is released.
H.S.T. RANGE LEVER
The range selector lever ① is located on the LH
control pod. It has two speed ranges (H-high and
L-low) and one neutral (N) position.
NOTE: The range selector lever must be in the
neutral position to activate the safety start
system and allow the engine to start.
To select the desired operating range, the H.S.T.
pedals must both be in their neutral positions.
IMPORTANT: Never attempt to engage or
disengage the range lever when the tractor is in
motion.
