To engage 'Forward' gear, the operator pushes the lever forward. For 'Neutral,' the lever is brought to the middle position. To engage 'Reverse' gear, the lever is pulled backward.

just set up now. Is you got two brake pedals? Is one an engine brake and one a wheel bra? They're they're both brake They're both brake pedals. Um, we do have like what we call transmission disengage. So a lot a lot of guys if they're stockpiling, they'll they'll hold the brake on and and hit the accelerator to get faster lift response. Mhm. Um, we have a setting in the machine that basically when you push your foot on the brake, it kicks the machine into neutral. That way you still have braking power, but you're not attempting to drive through the brakes.
