(3) Take the ignition key from the engine switch.

■ How to Drive, Change Speed, Turn, Stop (Park):
Do not allow any untrained people (non-owners) to use this machine; it may cause an
accident or injury.
Confirm that working conditions are safe before proceeding to drive the machine.
Practice driving on a flat area at a slow speed until you are used to the product and
the features. If you drive at high speeds right away, it may cause you to lose control
of the machine.
Turn the [HIGH] position when moving, and turn the [LOW] position if pulling the machine out
from a slippery area.
Operate the auxiliary shift lever after stopping. Operation with the shift is dangerous,
and it may cause transmission trouble.
The driving speed is continuously variable by shifting the shift lever down. For safety
reasons, please start at a slow speed.
■How to Drive:
(1) Start the engine (Refer to page 18 for how to start the engine).
(2) Put the throttle lever down to the [HIGH] position, and raise
the rotation of the engine.
(3) Turn the auxiliary shift lever securely to the [LOW] or [HIGH]
position.
Operate the auxiliary shift lever on a flat surface. Operating on slopes causes a danger of
slipping or of missing gears. There is a greater chance of getting stuck between gears
when on a slope, and doing so could cause the operator to lose control of the machine.
(4) Press the parking brake pedal deeply and release
the brake stopper.
Do not engage the shift lever while the parking brake pedal is [LOCKED]. It will put
wheels that have brakes engaged into drive. This will cause damage due to overuse of
the brake and transmission. Please use the shift lever for normal driving stop operations.
(5) To move forward, push the shift lever forward. To move in reverse, pull the shift lever back.
■How to Stop:
If you step into the parking brake, the machine stops while shift lever is in the neutral [N]
position. Engaging the parking brake pedal during high speed driving may overload the body
and cause injury to the operator due to sudden stopping.
(1) Stop driving.
