3.4 OPERATION- MOTION CONTROLS

This machine is equipped with dual hydrostatic wheel drive transmissions. Each hydro pump is controlled by a sepa- rate motion control lever. The left lever controls the left wheel drive hydro pump and the right lever controls the right wheel drive hydro pump. These levers control the direction of motion, Forward & Reverse, and the speed of motion. Move both levers forward to propel the machine forward. Move both levers rearward to propel the machine in reverse. The speed of motion is continuously variable from neutral (zero) to the maximum. Moving the levers far- ther from the neutral position will cause the speed of motion to increase. To turn, move the lever on the side to which you want to turn slightly rearward of the other lever. Move levers slowly and carefully. DO NOT make sudden changes in speed or direction. Always slow machine motion before turning. To stop the motion of the machine, bring both motion control levers to the neutral position. Engage parking brake.
