4.1CONTROLS
4.1.1Familiarize yourself with the controls and operation of the unit.
Carefully read the following information about the controls and their operation.
4.1.2Drive Levers:
Located on each side of the upper handle assembly directly below the handle grips. These levers individually control clutching action of the wheel drive belts and brakes. When the drive levers are all the way down, the wheel drive belts engage and the brakes disengage. Squeezing the left or right hand drive lever causes the left hand or right hand wheel to slow down or stop, which makes the machine turn to the left or right respectively. The sharpness of the turn varies by how much the lever is squeezed. If both levers are squeezed all the way back, both brakes will engage and the machine will stop. For straight ahead motion, smoothly release both drive levers to engage both drive wheels simultaneously.
4.1.3Neutral Lock/Parking Brake Latches:
Located directly above the drive levers. The purpose of these latches is to allow the operator to lock the drive levers in a "neutral" position where neither the wheel drive belts nor the brakes engage or in a “park brake” position where the wheel drive belts are not engaged and the park brake is engaged. To lock the drive levers in neutral, squeeze the drive levers back, place thumbs on the upper portion of the neutral lock/park brake latches and move them to the rear. Release drive levers. To lock the drive levers in “park brake” position, squeeze the drive levers back, place thumbs on the upper portion of the neutral lock/park brake latches and move them ahead. Release drive levers as stated in 4.1.2. (See Figure 12).
Apply parking brakes whenever leaving the operators position.
