Left Travel Lever

Right Travel Lever

* Normal traveling is when the drive

sprocket are under the rear of the
machine. Blade are under the front of the
cab. Reverse traveling is when the cab is
over the sprockets. Both the directional
and traveling functions will be reversed.

* Always travel with sprockets under the

rear of the machine.

Forward Direction Travel :

Move the both travel levers forward to move
the machine forward direction.

Stop :

Release the travel levers to stop the
machine and apply the brakes.

Reverse Direction Travel :

Move the both travel levers rear to move the
machine reverse direction.

Refer to Traveling the Machine section of
this manual.

Blade Lever

The blade falls with its self-weight if
pushing this lever to forward when the
engine stops. Be careful.

Blade raise :

Move the lever back to raise the

blade.

Blade lower :

Move the lever forward to

lower the blade.
