Operation

Driving the Machine

CAUTION

Machine can spin very rapidly by positioning one lever too much ahead of the other. Operator may lose control of the machine, which may cause damage to the machine or injury.

Use caution when making turns.

Slow the machine down before making sharp turns.

Important: To begin movement (forward or backward) the operator must be in the seat, the brake lever must be disengaged (pushed down) before the motion control levers can be moved in or the engine will stop.

When levers are centered in the T-slot the drive system is in the neutral position. With levers moved out in the T-slot the drive system is in the neutral lock position (Figure 6).

3.To move forward in a straight line apply equal forward pressure to both levers.

To turn left or right, pull the motion control lever back toward neutral in the direction desired.

The machine will move faster the farther the motion control levers are moved away from neutral.

4.To stop, pull the motion control levers back to the neutral position.
