PROPEL:
To go forward, slowly push the propel levers forward. To drive straight equal pressure on both the right and
left lever is required. To go straight forward push both right and left levers the same amount forward; the
farther the levers are pushed forward the faster the machine will propel. To go straight reverse simply pull
the levers back towards you. Always use a slow and gradual motion whenever operating the machine. Both
of these levers are spring centered to return to neutral when the lever is released.
The machine is steered by moving one of the drive levers further forward than the other. For a gradual turn,
to the left for example, move the right drive lever farther ahead of the left lever. The machine also has the
capability to do a true “pivot steer”, which allows the machine to pivot on its own radius. To accomplish
this push one of the drive levers forward and pull the other drive lever an equal amount backwards. The
farther the levers are pushed/pulled the faster this pivot turning will take place.
To slow or stop the machine, move the propel levers towards the center detent position to slow and allow to
return to center position to stop machine
LIFT ARM:
To raise the lift arm simply pull the lift arm lever back towards you. To lower the lift arm, push
the same lever forward away from you. This lever is spring centered to return to neutral when the
lever is released.
UNIVERSAL FACE PLATE CONTROL:
To tilt the universal face plate and any connected attachment forward push the universal face plate control
lever forward away from you. To curl the plate and attachment pull the lever back towards you. This lever
is spring centered to return to neutral when the lever is released.
