Electrical System—Fuse Blocks
The electrical system is protected by fuses which are
located under the control panel to the operators right
(Fig. 22). Fusible links are also incorporated into the wire
harness for the protection of the entire wiring circuit. The
links can be replaced if total loss of electrical function
results. However, the reason for the malfunction should
first be found and corrected.

Traction Pedal
The traction pedal (Fig. 23) controls forward and reverse
operation. Depress top of pedal to move forward and
bottom to move in reverse. Ground speed is dependent
upon high range/low range ground speed mode(slower in
low than high range) and proportionate to how far pedal is
depressed.
Steering/Parking Brake Pedals
The left and right turn pedals are connected to the front
wheel brakes (Fig. 23). Since both brakes work
independently, they can be used to turn machine more
sharply or to increase traction if one wheel tends to slip
while operating on a hillside. However, wet grass or soft
turf can be damaged when brakes are used for turning. A
brake latch lever locks the two pedals together for parking.
Whenever the engine is shut off, set parking brake to
prevent accidental machine movement. Latch pedals
together, depress them and pull the parking brake knob at
the top of the steering tower up (Fig. 19) Depress brake
pedals to release the parking brake.

hinged floor plate (Fig. 24). A small storage and beverage
