Pulling the levers back from the neutral position will cause the respective drive wheels to rotate in a reverse direction (spring tension can be felt when moving into reverse from neutral).

To turn to the left while backing, move the left lever forward toward neutral. To turn to the right while backing, move the right lever forward toward neutral.

CAUTION

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Machine can spin very rapidly by positioning one lever too much ahead of the other.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

Operator may lose control of the machine, which may cause damage to the machine or injury.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

Use caution when making turns.

Slow the machine down before making sharp turns.

4.1.3Tracking Adjustment Knob: Located under the seat on the LH pump control link. Rotating this knob allows fine tuning adjustments so that the machine tracks straight with the drive levers in the full forward position.

Stop machine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Engage park brake. Unhook seat latch and tilt seat forward to gain access to the tracking knob. Rotate the knob counter-clockwise (as viewed from the rear of the machine) to cause the machine to track more to the right and clockwise to cause the machine to track more to the left. Adjust in quarter-turn increments until the machine tracks straight. Check that the machine does not creep when in neutral with the park brakes disengaged.

IMPORTANT: Do not rotate the knob too far, as this may cause the machine to creep in neutral. Refer to section 5.2.11 for control linkage adjustment.

4.1.4PTO Engagement Switch: Located on the right fuel tank.

Switch must be pulled out to the “ROTATE” position to engage the blades. Switch is pushed in to the “STOP” position to stop the blades.

4.1.5Choke Control: Located on the right fuel tank.

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.

4.1.6Throttle Control: Located on the right fuel tank.

Throttle is used to control engine speed. Moving throttle lever forward will increase engine speed and moving throttle lever to the rear will decrease engine speed.

4.1.7Brake Lever: Located on left side of the console. The brake lever engages a parking brake on the drive wheels.

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.

4.1.8Ignition Switch: Located on the right fuel tank.

The ignition switch is used to start and stop the engine. The switch has three positions “OFF”, “ON” and “START”. Insert the 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).
