Propel Speed Range Control - The
propel speed range control is located
to the left of the steering wheel. The
control allows the machine operation in the "HIGH"
range or the "LOW" range.
LOW - In order to place the machine in
“LOW" range, rock the propel speed
range control forward. "LOW" range
reduces the overall speed of the machine. This
increases the operator control.
HIGH - In order to place the machine
in "HIGH" range, rock the propel speed
range control rearward. "HIGH" range
increases the speed of the machine. "HIGH" range is
used to move the machine from one job site to another
job site.
NOTE: In order to operate the vibratory system, the
propel speed range control must be placed in
the "LOW" range.
