FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Brake Pedal
The brake pedal (1) is the left pedal on
the foot board. Depress the brake
pedal to slow or stop the vehicle.
Throttle Pedal
The throttle pedal (2) is the right pedal
on the floor board. Push the pedal
down to increase engine speed. Spring
pressure returns the pedal to the rest
position when released. Always check
that the throttle pedal returns normally
before starting the engine. In addition, there must be adequate throttle
pedal freeplay. Refer to page 82 for throttle pedal adjustment
procedures.
Parking Brake Lever
The parking brake (3) is located below the console in the center of the
vehicle. It will help prevent the vehicle from rolling while parked.
To apply the parking brake, push down on the pedal with your foot.
To release, pull the release handle (4), which is located on the lower
console. Spring pressure helps return the lever to the released position.
Make sure the parking brake lever is functioning properly before each
operation.
Differential Lock
The rear axle on 2x4 and 4x4 models is equipped
with a lockable differential that allows the
operator to choose between an open
differential or a closed differential. It’s
beneficial to lock the differential in low
traction situations.
The differential lever is located on the
console (1). Push the lever up to lock.
