SECTION C
OPERATION
VPI VENTRAC 3000 C-3
SIDE CONTROLS
Right side directional and front hitch lift control
(Figure 7) is standard on all VENTRAC 3000s. The
primary lever with the large round knob is the
directional control (sometimes called the Forward/
Reverse lever, or F/R).
I.) Once in the seat and the park brake released, the
lever can be moved. Forward movement from the
neutral position will cause the tractor to move
forward. The farther the lever is moved, the faster the
machine will travel. Returning toward the neutral
position will slow the machine and in neutral it will
stop. Note that the directional lever operates the
same for reverse and works equally well for starting
and STOPPING! This shift-on-the-go feature with
engine power and brake power to all four tires makes
the VENTRAC 3000 an amazing performer. Yet
extreme caution is critical to avoid unexpected and
difficult situations that could cause serious injury or
damage to operator or equipment. (See safety
section)
II.) Next to the directional control is the hydraulic
control lever for the front hitch (Figure 8). Pulling
the lever back raises the hitch. Moving it forward
lowers the hitch. Continuing forward puts the front
hitch in the FLOAT
position. Always use the float
position for mowing and other tasks where
flotation of the attachments is desired or
necessary.
Next to the hitch control lever is an optional lever
(Figure 8) that controls the auxiliary hydraulic
circuit. This lever activates attachments with
functions that have hydraulic hoses to the front quick
couplers.
