Before operating the travel levers or travel pedals, check the direction that the track frame is facing (the
position of the sprocket).
When the sprocket is at the front, the direction of operation of the travel levers or control pedals is the

Use the travel levers to change direction.
Avoid sudden changes of direction as much as possible. Espe-
cially when performing counter-rotation (spin turn), stop the
machine before turning.
