FOOT PEDAL-See Figure 3
The accelerator and directional control foot pedal is located on the floor of the operator’s area. The accelerator and directional control pedal controls the machine direction, travel speed and dynamic braking. If the machine stops due to an electrical system overload in the power panel controller, allow the pedal to return to the neutral position. Reset is automatic when the controller cools.
For Forward Travel - Foot pressure on the upper portion of the pedal will cause the Sweeper to move forward. Increase the foot pressure on the upper portion of the pedal to increase the forward speed.
For Reverse Travel - Put foot pressure on the lower portion of the pedal. The machine will move in reverse. Increase the foot pressure on the lower portion of the pedal to increase the reverse speed.
To Stop the Sweeper - Allow directional control pedal to return to neutral (center position). Pedal will automatically return to centered position, which will automatically provide dynamic braking to stop. If Increased Braking action is desired put light foot pressure to the pedal in the opposite direction of travel until the sweeper stops then allow the pedal to return to center.
