When the engine is running, the throttle is set and the Drive Handles are moved from the neutral position, the unit moves in accordance with the driver’s input (push, pull or both). When the driver releases the handles they immediately return towards the neutral position and the unit will slow and stop moving (while the engine continues to run).

The rear wheels propel and steer the unit. The Left Drive Handle controls the Left rear wheel and the Right Drive handle controls the Right rear wheel. Push a handle forward and the respective wheel turns forward. Pull a handle back and the respective wheel turns in reverse.

Each Drive handle has a range in the forward position (push) and the reverse position (pull). If a Drive Handle is moved to the full position (until it stops) the rear wheel turns as fast as the throttle is set. Positions between neutral and full are proportional across the range based on the throttle setting. The Drive Handles can be moved together in the same direction or independent of each other in any combination (i.e. Left push, Right pull).

NOTE: The Drive Handles will return toward neutral when released, but they should be placed in neutral by the driver. If the Drive Handles are not placed in neutral, the tractor may creep.

SPEED CONTROL BAR

The Speed Control Bar is connected to the console with two wing nuts. (See Figure 9). It is used as a grab bar for entry or exit from the tractor and allows for pre-set maximum travel speed.

•Loosen the two wing nuts located on either side of the plastic console.

•Rotate speed control bar to desire location.

•Tighten wing nut to secure speed control bar.

NOTE: Limit loosening the wing nuts to 1 1/2 turns. This will insure proper assembly of the screw not visible on the other side of the plastic console. Refer to parts book if screw fell and wing nuts are no longer tightening.

The Speed Control Bar also aids the drive handles in making “perfect U-turns”. Grasping both Drive Handles and the Speed Control Bar at the same time to move forward, release the Left Drive Handle to turn left and then re- grasp to continue straight ahead or release the Right Drive Handle to turn right. Refer also to the Quick Reference Chart located in the Operation Section.
