Overview of the Traction Pedal
G439020
The traction pedal controls the forward and
reverse speed of the machine and the dynamic
braking when you return it to neutral.
• This machine has an automotive-style throttle
— the engine speed and the machine speed
respond to the pedal movement.
• While transporting, the traction pedal will
operate similar to a car and change the engine
and traction speed dependent on the traction
pedal position.
• While mowing, the engine automatically raises to high idle to optimize mowing
performance, and the traction pedal only controls traction speed.
• The further you push the pedal forward or reverse, the faster the machine moves.
• To control the machine to a smooth stop while transporting or mowing, use your foot to
return the traction pedal to neutral at your desired rate.
• To engage maximum braking, remove your foot from the traction pedal, allowing it to
return to neutral. The machine dynamically brakes to a stop.
This traction system allows you to customize the acceleration settings for operator comfort
and course conditions.
Overview of the Virtual Pedal Stop (VPS) Feature
The virtual pedal stop (VPS) feature allows you to temporarily set a maximum traction speed
that is less than the password-protected supervisor maximum traction speed.
To temporarily set the maximum speed of the machine, press the traction pedal fully
forward. You can set a separate speed for the mow range and transport range.
• To access this feature, press the up or down navigation button from the main screen.
Note: This feature reverts back to the supervisor maximum speed settings when the key
is switched off.
