PROPULSION

16.6

PROPULSION: VQ self-propelled vacuums are equipped with

5 forward gears, neutral and reverse. With the engine running,

the bail in released position and brake in on position, select

desired drive gear. Pull bail against handle to engage drive

(see figure 7). Smoothly engage the bail. Parking brake

engages when the bail is released. To freewheel, set transmis-

sion control in neutral and pull back on bail.

Use good judgement when operating the self-propelled drive.

Fifth gear is faster than walking speed and should normally be

used only for moving quickly from place-to-place.

Using neutral, on level terrain is advisable when maneuvering in

tight areas. This increases operator control, and can prevent

bumping into nearby objects.

Do not force-shift gears of transmission. To assist gear meshing,

it may be necessary to partially engage bail while shifting.

To stop machine, release operator's bail (this engages the

parking brake).

For reverse - Set Throttle to Idle.
