With the track speed selector switch, you can select two different track driving speeds: Slow “Turtle”
and Normal “Rabbit”. Use the “Normal” (Rabbit) position only if needed.
• To increase the track driving speed, turn the speed controller on the radio control device to the
“increase” position for 2 seconds
• To decrease the track driving speed, turn the speed controller to the “decrease” position for 2 seconds.
2. From the radio control device ON/OFF switch, turn the key switch clockwise for few seconds to
activate the radio control device. Turn the radio control device ON/OFF switch clockwise once more.
3. Move and release either joystick once to activate track driving.
After an audible start alarm signal, track driving is active and the machine can be driven.
NOTICE:
You can change the driving speed by adjusting the engine speed.
4. From the radio control device, select the track drive mode, and then adjust the engine speed to
around 1000 rpm to avoid stalling the engine.
5. To familiarize yourself with the drive controls, and to check that track drive works properly, use the
radio control levers to drive the machine 0.5 m (20 in) straight and stop.
NOTICE:
Be aware of the driving conditions. Weather or ground conditions
(firmness of the ground), can affect the traction. If driving on
uneven ground, always note the ground clearance of the machine
and the irregularities of the ground. In bad terrain, the machine
might not move if the engine speed is too low.
