Operation

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 top console, control the forward and reverse motion of the machine.

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

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 the RH side of the front control console (red lever) (see Figure 5).

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.

Front Reference/Speed Control Bar

Located in front of the motion control levers (see Figure 5).

The front reference/speed control bar controls the maximum forward speed and is infinitely variable from approximately 4–8 mph (6–13 km/hr).
