Supervised Driver’s Training  

 

Before beginning training: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At each point where the trainee is to learn a new phase of driving 

the machine, the trainee 

MUST 

be provided adequate practice time 

and demonstrate the ability to satisfactorily control the machine 
while starting, stopping, turning, getting on and off, along with 

performing any other task described in that specific phase of the 

training before proceeding to the next phase.  

 

Machine Safety Devices and controls

Locate, identify, and explain the function of the following (refer to 

FIGURE 5 

For location): 

 

Machine Safety Labels: Safety Device = (SD). 

A complete 

listing is found in the Safety Manual section. 

A. 

Engine Kill Switch (SD) 

turns the engine off and permits it 

to be started. It is part of the Neutral Safety Switch System to 

prevent the Triumph from starting in Gear.  

B. 

Front Brake Lever (SD) 

controls the front service brake on 

the Transaxle. Pulling the lever activates the Front Brake. The 

Front Brake Lever can be locked in the pulled position by 

Driver’s Training and Operation 

pushing the lock button on the lever with your finger. In the 

locked position the Front Brake is one half of the Parking Brake 

System of the machine. The Lock is automatically released by 
pulling the lever again. A Spring controls the amount of force 

applied to the Front brake. 

C. 

Throttle Lever (SD) 

is part of the Throttle/Clutch/Operator 

Presence Control (OPC) System for the machine. The Lever 

controls engine speed. The engine speed increases as the lever 
is pulled and the Centrifugal Clutch automatically engages 

sending power to the Transaxle though a belt and pulley 

system. Releasing the Throttle Lever decreases engine speed 
and disengages power to the Transaxle.  

D. 

SmartSteer Brake Assist Steering System (SD)

 - Interlocked 

handlebar actuation helps the operator control a fully loaded 

machine. 

E. 

LOW Gear Selector Valve 

selects either the 

LOW GEAR 

Broadcast or Trim nozzle for spraying during 

LOW GEAR 

Operation. Point valve handle left to enable Broadcast spraying, 

right to enable Trim spraying, or forward to turn Nozzles off.   

F. 

HIGH Gear Spray Selector Valve 

selects either the 

HIGH 

GEAR

 Broadcast or Trim Nozzle for spraying during 

HIGH 

GEAR 

Operation. It operates similarly to the 

LOW GEAR 

Spray Selector Valve. 

G. 

Drop Handle Lever (SD) 

unlatches the Handlebars 

permitting them to drop down for the convenience of the 

operator and to permit the machine to used as a walk-behind 

unit. The Handlebars automatically lock in the down position. 
Pushing the Lever rearward with the thumb unlatches the 

Handlebars. 

H. 

The Spray Lever 

opens a valve when spraying is desired. 

Like the Brake Levers it has a lock to permit continuous 
spraying. Additional details about the spray controls will be 

provided in the Sprayer Operator section of this manual. 

I. 

Rear Brake Lever (SD) 

controls the rear service brakes. It 

operates similarly to the Front Brake Lever and is one half of the 

Parking Brake System.  

J.  T

hird-Hole Lever 

opens and closes the pattern adjustment 

Slide Plate below the spreader’s Third-Hole (left hole looking 

from the Operator’s position). It is to be closed whenever the 

Deflector is lowered to reduce the amount of granular product 

distributed to the right side of the machine. It also functions in 
the partially closed position to balance the spreader pattern. 

Pulling the lever rearwards closes the Third-Hole. A gray 

Memory Lock adjusts the partially open setting.  

K.  T

he Hopper Lever 

opens and closes the Hopper to control the 

release of granular product. Additional details about spreading 
controls will be provided in the Spreader section of this manual. 

L. 

The Deflector Lever 

raises and lowers the spreader 

Deflector to prevent granular material from being spread to the 

DO NOT attempt to start or operate this machine until you have read and are  

thoroughly familiar with this Operator’s Manual. Read it now before beginning.  

All operators and mechanics must be trained before operating this machine!
