Checking the Tire Pressure
Check the tire pressure before operating the machine. The
correct air pressure in the front and rear tires is 4–6 psi
(28–41 kPa).

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Using the Controls
Traction and Stopping Pedal
The traction pedal (Fig. 8) has 3 functions: to make the
machine move forward, to move it backward, and to stop
the machine. Using the heel and toe of the right foot,
depress the top of the pedal to move forward and the
bottom of pedal to move backward or to assist in stopping
when moving forward (Fig. 9). Also, allow the pedal to
move or move it to the neutral position to stop the machine.
For operator comfort, do not the rest heel of the foot on
reverse when operating forward (Fig. 10).

Ground speed is proportionate to how the far traction pedal
is depressed. For maximum ground speed, the pedal must
be fully depressed while the throttle is in the Fast position.
To get maximum power or when ascending a hill, have the
throttle in the Fast position while depressing the pedal
slightly to keep the engine RPM high. When the engine
RPM begins to decrease, release the pedal slightly to allow
the RPM to increase.
