safety switch, located directly to the left of the seat
switch assembly beside the hydraulic oil reservoir.
3. Temporarily install a jumper wire across the
terminals in the connector of the main wiring
harness.
4. Run the unit at least 5 minutes with the drive
levers at full forward speed to bring hydraulic
system oil up to operating temperature.

creep in reverse. When adjustment is complete,
tighten lock nuts onto ball joints.
