OPERATION

ADJUSTING THROTTLE FOR VARIOUS TYPES OF WORK

WARNING

When first learning to operate the Track Horse, position the throttle to the SLOW position. More experienced operators may use higher throttle settings.

FORWARD TRAVEL

The throttle can be positioned anywhere between slow and fast for traveling forward depending on the weight of the load being carried. Heavy loads will require higher throttle settings and low range in order for the engine to provide enough power to move the load.

A switch mounted below the throttle control provides two-speed (FAST & SLOW) operation.

REVERSE TRAVEL

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to travel in reverse with the throttle positioned above SLOW. This may result in loss of control and result in injury or death to the operator.

Always position the throttle to a slow position for reverse travel to permit increased control and safety.

Always switch the two-speed control to LOW speed op- eration when moving in reverse.

SLOPE OPERATION

WARNING

DO NOT operate the machine on slopes exceeding 60 percent (30°) in the travel direction or across slopes exceeding 45 percent (24°).

Depending on the load carried in the bed, it may be pref- erable to back up steep slopes.

If traversing over large obstructions such as railroad rail or curbs, travel at an angle (45 degrees) to the obstruc- tion. In some cases it may be easier to back over them.

Avoid turning on slopes. If you must turn, turn slowly downhill, if possible.

DO NOT operate the machine near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The machine could suddenly turn over if a track goes over the edge or if an edge collapses.

DO NOT try to stabilize the machine if it is tipping over. Let go of the machine and get out of its way.
