SECTION 2 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 
 
2.5 PARKING 
MACHINE 
The park brake has a ratcheting lock mechanism.  
When setting the brake a clicking sound will be heard 
as the mechanism engages and locks the brake.  To 
set and hold the machine properly, two or more clicks 
may be required.  Always park the machine on a flat 
surface.  Inspect brakes for proper operation before 
each use.  Refer to Maintenance section of this manual 
for inspection and adjustment procedures.   
 
WARNING 
DO NOT park machine on slopes.  DO NOT leave 
machine with engine running.  Stop machine.  Stop 
engine.  Set park brake. Shift transmission to 
Neutral and remove key before leaving the machine 
for any reason. 
 
A.  Bring machine to a complete stop on a flat 
surface. 
B.  Pull the park brake knob up to engage parking 
brake. 
C.  
Depress brake pedal firmly. (2 or more clicks.) 
D.  
Stop engine. 
E.  
Shift transmission to Neutral. 
F.  
Remove key.   
 
2.6  USING DIFFERENTIAL LOCK 
The differential lock is only used when increased 
traction is needed.  Locking the differential causes both 
rear wheels to turn equally, improving traction.  The 
differential lock should not be used at speeds in excess 
of 10 mph.  The differential will remain locked as long 
as the control is in the “locked” position.  Be sure to 
“Unlock” the differential when increased traction is no 
longer needed.  Do not attempt to turn machine with the 
differential locked.  The machine and wheels must be 
fully stopped before locking differential. 
 
WARNING 
DO NOT lock differential until machine and rear 
wheel motion has stopped.  DO NOT operate 
machine at speeds in excess of 10 mph with the 
differential locked.  DO NOT turn machine with 
differential locked.  Unlock differential when 
increased traction is not required. 
 
A.  Bring machine and wheels to a complete stop.  
IMPORTANT!  All motion must be stopped before 
attempting to lock the differential. 
B.  
Move the differential lock lever to the front of 
the slot and latch in the “Locked” position. 
C.  
Shift transmission to desired direction. 
D.  
Move accelerator pedal slowly.  The differential 
will lock when the rear wheels turn at slightly 
different speeds. 
E.  Drive the machine only in a straight line and at 
a slow speed.   
F.  When increased traction is no longer needed 
the differential must be unlocked.  Move differential 
lock lever to the “Unlocked” position. 
G.  Resume normal machine operation. 
 
2.7  DRIVING THE MACHINE 
 
IMPORTANT!  OPERATOR MUST BE 16 
YEARS OLD OR OLDER AND POSSESS A 
VALID DRIVER’S LICENSE 
 
2.7.1.  Before operating machine, read understand 
and follow all instructions and warnings in this manual 
and on the machine, engine and attachments. 
 
Careless, reckless operation can cause accidents 
resulting in damage and injury.  It is extremely 
important that the operator of this machine understand 
that it is not a toy.  Engaging in horseplay, joy riding, 
racing, jumping, hill climbing and similar activities 
greatly increases the likelihood of accidents, which may 
result in damage, serious injury or death.  Operating 
machine on slopes, carrying loads and towing require 
extra caution.   
 
2.7.2.  
The machine is equipped with a Continuously 
Variable Torque drive train.  No manual up shifting or 
down shifting of gears is required.  The transmission 
automatically up-shifts and down-shifts to match 
operating speed and load conditions.  Depressing the 
accelerator pedal increases engine speed and causes 
the clutch to engage and the machine to move in the 
direction selected with the transmission shift lever.
