changing directions. Do not start to move the grader in any forward
gear higher than 4th or any reverse gear higher than -2nd. Refer to
Shifting gears page 87.

Accelerator/decelerator pedal
n Depress the pedal toe to increase rpm.
n Release the pedal to decrease engine rpm.
n Use the pedal to override the hand throttle setting.
n Depress the pedal heel to decrease engine rpm when the hand
throttle is set.
n When you remove your foot from the pedal, the engine speed
will return to the preset hand throttle position. Refer to Hand
throttle.
NOTE! If the engine is started with the hand throttle above low
idle position, the accelerator will not function. Move the hand
throttle lever to low idle position to obtain accelerator re-
sponse.
4
Hand throttle
The hand throttle provides a fixed engine speed control during grading.
NOTE! Do not use the hand throttle when roading the grader.
The hand throttle is self-locking in any position. Moving the throttle
handle releases the locking mechanism and allows free movement of
the lever. When starting the engine, the hand throttle lever must be in
the low idle position (pulled back towards you) to achieve accelerator
function.
5
Transmission shift lever
The transmission shift lever is mounted in the console on the oper-
ator’s right-hand side. The shift lever is equipped with a neutral lock
button. The shift lever may only be moved to the FORWARD or RE-
VERSE position if the neutral lock button on the shift lever knob is
depressed. NEUTRAL may be selected without depressing the neu-
tral lock button. The alarm will sound if the transmission FORWARD
or REVERSE mode is selected when the parking brake is applied.
A digital display is incorporated into the pedestal to show you which
gear the transmission is in. See Transmission gear display page 28.
Refer to Shifting gears page 87.
6
Steering wheel
The steering wheel is used to steer the grader. Refer to Operating
instructions, Steering page 93.
