OPERATION
REAR CONTROLS
S.D.L.A. System—Speed, direction, lift, auxiliary
The primary lever with the large round knob (See
Figure 6) is the directional control (sometimes
called the Forward/Reverse lever, F/R). It has two
distinct functions:
I.) Operator must be seated to release the seat
safety latch. Forward movement from the neutral
position will cause the tractor to move forward.
The farther the lever is moved, the faster the
tractor will travel. Returning toward the neutral
position will slow the tractor and in neutral it will
stop. Note that the directional lever operates the
same for reverse and always 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 4100 an amazing
performer in many situations. Yet extreme caution
is important to avoid unexpected and difficult
situations that could cause serious injury or
damage to operator or equipment. (See safety
section)
II.) The second function of the primary lever
controls the hydraulic front hitch. Pulling the lever
to the left toward the operator raises the hitch.
Moving it to the first position to the right is to lower
front hitch with down pressure. Second position to
the right is a locking detent to engage float of the
front hitch. Always use the float position for
mowing and other tasks where flotation of the
attachments is desired or necessary.
Directly behind the primary lever is a smaller lever
(Figure 7) that controls the auxiliary hydraulic
circuit. This lever activates attachments with
functions that use hydraulic hoses connected to
the front quick couplers. Move the lever left or
right to activate the auxiliary circuit.
NOTE: A float kit for auxiliary function is available.
See your dealer for this option.
