4. Controls
Please refer to the illustrations. All directions are given with reference to the
operator sitting in the seat. Numbers in brackets refer to part numbers as shown
in the diagrams at the back of this manual.
4.1 Steering Wheel
The steering wheel (5377) controls the angle of the smoothing rollers, which in
turn steer the unit. The amount the wheel can be turned is limited, so the turning
circle of the roller is relatively large.
To move forward or beck simply tum the steering wheel to suit the direction you
ere aiming for. As the direction changes ct the end of every run, you will need
to practice with the roller to become accustomed to the steering. To explain; if
you went to move forwatd while moving to the right, turn the steering wheel
anti-clockwise, but if you went to move forward while moving to the left you
must turn the steering wheel clockwise.
4.2
Motion Pedals
These two foot pedals ( 1335 & 1336), found either side of the steering wheel
column (1313), control the motion of the rear drive roller (1467). The pedals ere
connected so they cannot both be pressed down at the same time, you can
only go one way or the other. Basically if you press down on the right pedal you
will move to the right, end if you press down on the left pedal you will move to
the left. The further you depress these pedals, the fester will be your speed in
that direction.
If you release both pedals ct once, the transmission (5366)
will
automatically
return to the neutral, stationary position. It is recommended that you operate
these pedals smoothly, to extend the transmission life and avoid potentially
dangerous sudden stops or changes in directions.
4.3
Lifting
Bar
The lifting bar ( 1437) is stored on the tow bar bracket ( 1436) behind the
operators seat (5080). It is used to create enough leverage force for the
operator to raise the roller onto the lifting wheels (5317), making the roller reedy
for towing.
Firstly slide the lifting bar over the lifting arm assembly ( 1392) on the left hand
side of the roller. You must now release the wheel lock bracket ( 1396) holding
the lifting arm (1392), then start lifting the wheels with the lifting bar. The lifting
bar spring (5382) assists in lifting the roller. Once you have moved the lifting
wheels around so they ore touching the ground, you will have to push harder to
get them over centre and then they will lock Into place.
When you want to let the machine back down on its rollers again, first release
the wheel lock bracket and let the machine drop gently to the ground, then
push the lifting bar down until the lifting arm assembly locks back into the
upright position.
