SECTION C
OPERATION
C-2 VENTRAC 3000 VPI
The right side of the dash has IMPORTANT
operational and safety instructions for the three-(3)
position Control Selector (Figure6).
1. DOWN – activates the park and
emergency brake. ALWAYS return lever to this
position when the tractor is not in use. The lever
must be in this position to START the engine.
2. LEVEL – causes the directional control
lever beside the operator to have a spring-assist-to-
neutral action. This position makes neutral easy to
find and maintain. If the tractor creeps when in
neutral, see “Neutral Adjustment” section.
3. UP – puts the directional control lever
beside the operator into an “Easy Shift” mode. This
position is recommended only for open area
operation where travel speed and direction is
relatively constant and control is very easy to
maintain. “Easy Shift” reduces operator arm fatigue
when machine is operated for an extended length of
time.
FRONT CONTROLS
Many of the controls are located directly in front of
the operator on the dash and steering column.
(Figures 3, 4 & 5). Decals reveal their position,
function and motion.
