Steering Control
The ST-50 is equipped with a
steering wheel (R) to direct
machine movement.
• To turn the vehicle to the
right, rotate the wheel
clock wise.
• To turn the vehicle to the left,
rotate the wheel counter-
clockwise.
Note: The machine must be in
motion for the steering control to
function.
The amount the wheel is rotated
determines the degree to which
the machine turns/pivots. The
farther you turn the wheel in a
given direction, the tighter the
machine turns.
Bi-directional Speed Control
The scout is equipped with a
foot pedal (Q) that controls both
machine speed and movement
in forward/reverse directions.
• To move the machine forward,
press the right side of the
pedal gently towards the floor.
• To move the machine back-
ward, press the left side of the
pedal gently towards the floor.
Machine speed is determined by
how far the pedal is pressed
towards the floor. This applies in
forward and reverse directions.
• To move the machine slowly
press the pedal only slightly
closer to the floor then hold to
maintain desired speed.
• To move the machine at a
faster rate, press the pedal
farther toward the floor until
your desired speed is
reached and hold position to
maintain speed.
