Drive System

This saw has a cable-controlled Hydro-Gear hydrostatic powered transaxle with infinite F-N-R speed adjustment via a joystick controller. The saw is designed with locked axle drive, and can travel at speeds up to 300 feet per minute.

Drive System Controls

The panel-mounted joystick controls FORWARD-NEUTRAL-REVERSE (F-N-R) and infinitely variable speeds in both directions. To increase forward speed, slowly move the joystick FORWARD. Pulling the joystick backward decreases saw speed, and when the joystick passes NEUTRAL the saw moves into REVERSE. Reverse speed is also controlled by the position of the joystick.

The Drive Disengage handle, when pulled, puts the saw in “free wheeling” mode. This is not a “true” Neutral, but does provide a by-pass in the pump/motor group which allows the saw to be readily moved. Some rolling resistance will be encountered.
