Operation

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.

Controls

Motion Control Levers

The motion control levers located on each side of the console control the forward and reverse motion of the machine. The levers control the flow of hydraulic oil from the hydrostatic pump to the drive wheel motor for each side.

Moving the levers forward or backward turns the wheel on the same side forward or in reverse. Wheel speed is proportional to the amount the lever is moved.

Moving the levers outward from the center position into the T-slot locks them in the neutral position (Figure 6).

Choke Control

Located on right fuel tank console.

The choke is used to aid in starting a cold engine. Moving the choke lever forward will put the choke in the “ON” position and moving the choke lever to the rear, to the detent, will put the choke in the “OFF” position. Do Not run a warm engine with choke in the “ON” position.

Throttle Control

Located on right fuel tank console.

The throttle is used to control engine speed. Moving the throttle lever forward will increase engine speed and moving the throttle lever to the rear will decrease engine speed. Moving the throttle forward into the detent is full throttle.

Park Brake Lever

Located on left side of unit, between the seat and the dummy tank.

The brake lever engages a parking brake on the drive wheels.

Pull the lever up and rearward to engage the brake.
