To
counter-rotate
Tracks
, (shortest turn possi-
ble), push one Track Control forward while simul-
taneously pulling rearward on the other Track
Control. You may counter-rotate “clockwise” or
“counter-clockwise”; move in which ever direction
satisfies the job at hand.
Stopping the Crawler:
The Right and Left Track
Controls are of the self-centering (neutral) type.
This allows you to simply release pressure on both
Track Controls to disconnect active power to the
Tracks and come to a complete stop.
Never
“snap” Track Controls back into neutral! Dam-
age to the hydrostatic transaxles may occur.
PARKING THE CRAWLER
1. Lower all Attachments to the ground.
2. Allow Right and Left Track Controls
to go “slowly” to neutral.
3. Engage Parking Brake.
4. Run Engine at half speed 2 minutes
without load.
5. Move Throttle/Choke Control to low,
“ON SHUT-OFF”.
6. Turn Ignition Switch to Off.
IMPORTANT:
If Engine stops under load, remove
load. Start Engine immediately. Run 30 seconds
at half speed before adding load.
CAUTION:
When you park your
Crawler on a slope, put blocks against
tracks.
Do not
park Crawler with tracks
pointed downhill, always park “cross-
ways” to the hill!
STORAGE
Always store your MAGNATRAC in a garage,
shed or barn. If the only option is to park outside,
make sure to securely tarp the unit and park on a
flat surface with the parking brake engaged.
If Tracks are frozen to the ground, be careful to
avoid damage to the Tracks and transaxles when
you try to move the Crawler.
We advise to turn off the fuel shut off valve and
run until the unit stops if going to store for a long
period of time. This is to ensure easy starting dur-
ing the next season. Remember to turn ON the
fuel when ready for work the next time!
