TRAVELING
1.Before starting to travel, make sure to release parking brake located on the left side of the rear roller. If the parking brake lever is tight, moving the roller back and forth will make it easier (Figure 20).

2.With the throttle lever in the RUN position, increase the engine rotation.
3.Push the travel lever forward slightly. This will cause the roller to travel forward at slow speed.
4.To increase the travel speed, push the travel lever further.
5.Travel speed can be varied between 0 and 3 km/h (both forward and reverse).
6.Push the travel lever backward to go in the reverse direction.
CAUTION :
DO NOT reduce speed during work. When shifting travel lever from forward to reverse, be sure to stop the lever at the neutral position first before moving the lever to the opposite direction. DO NOT shift the lever from forward to reverse (or reverse to forward) in one motion.
CAUTION :
After test travel, shut down engine and check for any problems including oil leakage. If any trouble is found, correct the problem before attempting to operate the roller again.
