easy. Take off nice and smooth.
Push on the pedal to control the
speed. The transmission will shift
automatically within the range
you set for it. To hold in a range
past the normal shift point for a
few seconds, or to shift down for
extra power, push the pedal all
the way to the floor.
CAUTION
The full-throttle transmission
detent (pedal to the floor) is not
a tradeoff for selecting the prop
er range. Use the detent for
short bursts of power, not as a
way to gear down for heavy
hauling.
WARNING
When a track ve-
hicle gets out of
control and over-
turns, it is safer to
stay in the vehicle
than to try to get
.
out while the vehicle is still mov-
ing. You may receive slight inju-
ries from being thrown against
metal parts; but if you try to leave
the vehicle, it may roll over and
crush you. Once the vehicle stops
moving, get out as fast as possible
because spilled fuel and oil may
catch on fire. The first thing the
driver should do in such an emer-
gency is shut off the engine and
turn off the master switch to
minimize the fire hazard.
