WARNING
• If you perform operations with your foot on the pedal,
the machine may suddenly start if you depress the
pedal by mistake, and this may lead to serious person-
al injury or death.
Be extremely careful when using the pedal for travel
and steering operations, and do not put your foot on
the pedal when it is not necessary.
• When the track frame is facing the rear, the direction
of operation of the steering lever is the opposite to the
direction of movement of the machine (forward/
reverse, right/left turn).
When operating the travel lever, always check if the
track frame is facing the front or the rear.
(If sprocket (A) is at the rear, the track frame is facing
the front.)
• When entering to the operator's seat, there is a danger
that your toe may get caught on the travel pedal.
When you do not perform the pedal operation, always
fold the pedals.
When you perform the pedal operation, sit on the oper-
ator's seat, and then unfold the pedals to use them.
After performing the pedal operation, always fold the
pedals while sitting on the operator's seat.
The travel lever is used to change the direction of travel be-
tween forward and reverse.
