3.12 Route the long unat tached wiring harness lead, up the left hand side of the handle
and connect the connector on t he end of the shor t er lead t o the key switch.
Connect the two f lag terminals that ar e on t he longer lead (in any order) to the
operator pr esence cont rol switch terminals underneat h t he cont rol console.
Fasten the lead to t he handle with two small wire ties f r om the bolt bag, one at the
upper end of t he handle next t o t he console, and one at the very lower end of the
handle where it attaches to t he fuel tank support. Fasten the lead to the sm all hole
in the channel under the console using another small tie from the bolt bag.

4. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 Controls
4.1.1 Familiarize yourself with the controls and operation of the unit.
Carefully read t he following inform ation about the contr ols and their operation.
4.1.2 Operator Presence Control (O PC) Levers: Located on the upper handle assem bly
directly above the handle grips. See Figure 9. When these l evers are
depressed, the OPC system senses t hat t he operat or i s i n t he normal
operator's position. When the l evers are released, the OPC system senses
that the operator has moved fr om t he normal operat i ng position and will kill
the engine if either the transmission shift lever is not in the neutral position or the
PTO is engaged. See Figure 9.
4.1.3 Drive Levers: Located on each side of the upper handle assembly direct ly below the
handle grips. See Figure 9. These levers individually control the clutching act ion of
the wheel drive belts and the brak es. When the drive levers are all of the way out,
the brak es disengage and the wheel drive belts eng age.
Gradually squeezing t he left or r ight hand drive lever disengag es the wheel drive
belts, causing the left hand or right hand wheel to slow down until they reach
neutral or st op. This makes the machine tur n to the lef t or right r espectively.
Squeezing further engages the par k brakes. The sharpness of the tur n varies by
how much the lever is squeezed. For straight ahead mot ion, smoothly release both
drive levers to engage both drive wheels simultaneously.
4.1.4 Neutral Lock /Parking Brake Latch: Located at t he end of the handles. The purpose
of t hese lat c hes is t o allow the operat or to lock the drive levers in a "neutral" posit ion
where neither the wheel drive belts nor the br akes engag e, or in a “park brake”
position where the wheel drive belts are not eng aged and the park brake is eng aged.
See Figure 9.
Apply parking brakes whenever l eavi ng t he operators position.
