Description
The travel direction control system on models HD and HD PTO
requires regular inspection. See information below.
Inspect the travel direction control and engine speed control
system to ensure proper operation. Incorrect adjustment may
cause erratic travel / engine speed conditions.

Failure to check or maintain proper operation of the travel control
system can result in an accident and lead to serious injury or death if
the travel control pedal or the engine speed control lever sticks during
operation. Always inspect the travel control pedal for free movement
and return to neutral before starting the engine and occasionally
during operation. Never start or operate this vehicle if it has a sticking
or improperly operating travel control pedal. Immediately contact your
dealer for service if travel control problems arise.
