Traction Control System - The traction control system monitors the rpm at each of the wheels. When a wheel starts to spin, the brake is applied at that wheel in order to reduce tire slippage. |

The switch is located on the console to the right of the seat. The switch turns on the traction control system, or the switch turns off the traction control system.
- Press the switch to position (1) for normal slippery conditions.
- Press the switch to position (2) in order to deactivate the traction control system.
- Press the switch to position (3) for extremely slippery conditions.
The system is in test mode for the first five seconds after the switch is activated. Allow time for the system check to occur.
After the initial five seconds, the traction control system will return to normal operating conditions.

The display for the traction control system has one indicator light (4) which shows if the traction control system is activated. The display for the traction control system has four indicator lights (5) which represent the four brakes. An indicator light (5) is active when the traction control system applies that brake.
OFF (6) - Move the switch to the OFF position in order to deactivate the display of the traction control system. The indicator light (4) will go off. The traction control system may still be ON.
DIM (7) - Move the switch to the DIM position in order to darken the display of the traction control system. The indicator light (4) will come on in order to inform the operator that the traction control system is active. The DIM position is used better in dark conditions.
BRIGHT (8) - Move the switch to the BRIGHT position in order to lighten the display of the traction control system. The indicator light (4) will come on in order to inform the operator that the traction control system is active. The BRIGHT position is used better in bright sunny conditions.
Note: If the switch for the display of the traction control system is in position (7) or position (8), the indicator light (4) should be active. If the indicator light (4) is inactive, the traction control system has been deactivated by self-diagnoses of the machine. Refer to the Service Manual for information on fault codes.
