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 7).

When the motion control levers are in the neutral position, the LCD indicator appears in the message display on the center console (see Figure 6).

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 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 center of the console (to the left side of the choke).

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.

Brake Lever

Located on left side of the console.

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

Note: The LCD indicator appears in the message display on the RH console when the park brake is engaged (see Figure 6).

Pull the lever up and rearward to engage the brake.

Push the lever forward and down to disengage the brake.

The unit must be tied down and brake engaged when transporting.

Ignition Switch

Located right of center on the console.

The ignition switch is used to start and stop the engine. The switch has three positions “OFF”, “ON” and “START”. Insert key into switch and rotate clockwise to the “ON” position. Rotate clockwise to the next position to engage the starter (key must be held against spring pressure in this position).

Note: Brake must be engaged, motion control levers out (neutral lock position) and PTO switch “OFF” to start engine. (It is not necessary for the operator to be in the seat to start the engine.)
