Operator Handle Grips
Use the operator handle grips to operate and move
the machine. The switch levers on the underside of
the handle grips, turn the motor on and off. Locate the
handle grips in a comfortable operating position and
lock the handle release lever in place. While operating
the machine, slightly raising or lowering the operators
handle will help the operator control the machine.
Switch Levers
The switch levers activate the switch module to turn the
motor on and off. The switch module will not activate
unless the switch lever safety lock is pressed first. To
operate the machine, only one switch lever has to be
engaged. This allows the operator to alternate hands
while using the machine. To stop the motor from turning,
release the switch levers.
Switch Lever Safety Lock
The switch lever safety lock is to prevent someone
from accidentally turning the machine on. To turn the
machine on, always make sure the handle is lowered in
the operators position and the handle release lever is
locked. Push and hold the switch lever safety lock with
one hand, while engaging one of the switch levers. Once
the machine has started, the switch lever safety lock can
be released.
Handle Release Lever
This handle is used to release or lock the operators
handle. Pulling up on the lever will allow the handle to
move freely. Pushing down on the lever, horizontally,
will lock the handle in place. The handle should always
be locked while in use, as well as during transport or
storage.

the operators handle.
