controls the forward and reverse operation with foot motion. To increase forward speed
press front pedal down until desired speed is obtained, to increase reverse speed press
back pedal down until desired speed is obtained. Movement of the front pedal down will
cause the machine to go forward. To stop forward travel, remove foot from pedal. The
neutral centering device moves the motion pedal back to the neutral position.
For reverse motion, place foot heel on the rear pedal pad and press downward.
Remove foot from pedal to stop reverse motion. The pedal automatically returns to
neutral. When parking brake is engaged, the motion control pedal can be moved but
