_ | Ground | Speed | Levers |
| Parking Brake Lever |
These levers control the ground speed of the rider. The left lever controls the left rear drive wheel and the right lever controls the right rear drive wheel.
Pushing the levers out to the side, away from the opera- tor'slap (top inset, Figure 6), is the proper position for starting the rider. Pulling the levers in across the opera- tot'slap puts the levers in DRIVE positions.
From DRIVE position, moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD speed of the associated wheel. Pulling back on a lever increases the REVERSE speed. The fur- ther a lever is pushed, the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See DRIVING PRACTICE for steering instructions.
Move the parking brake lever (bottom inset, Figure 6) up and across and into the locking notch to engage and lock the parking brake. Move the parking brake lever across and down to disengage the parking brake. The engine will not start unless the parking brake is engaged.
NOTE: The parking brake must be disengaged before operating the ground speed levers.
_]_r'_ Throttle/Choke Control (Choke-
O-Matic)
The throttle/choke controls the engine speed and choke. Move the throttle/choke to the FAST position to increase engine speed and SLOW position to decrease engine speed. Always operate at full throttle. Move the throt- tle/choke control to the CHOKE position for starting a cold engine. A warm engine may not require choking.
