DRIVE LEVERS, Items 5 & 6, Fig. 2
The left-hand drive lever controls the track
on the left-hand side while the right-hand
drive lever controls the track on the right-
hand side.
Engage the drive levers slowly because
even a small movement of the levers will
produce motion. All lever movements
should be smooth and gradual. To drive
the Walk-Behind straight forward, move
both control levers forward an equal
amount. Likewise, to drive the Walk-
Behind straight backward, move the
control levers back an equal amount.
The Walk-Behind is steered by moving
one lever further forward than the other.
To turn left, move the right lever further
ahead than the left lever; to turn right,
move the left lever further ahead than the
right lever. For the Walk-Behind to
perform a spin-turn, or “Skid Steer”, move
one lever forward and the other
backward the same amount.
The Walk-Behind features single-
handed steering. For normal operation,
the most comfortable hand position is to
operate the two steering levers with the
Fig. 3 – Single-Hand Steering
palm of your right hand with your
fingers gripping the grip handle, as
shown in Fig. 3. Flexing your fingers
will allow forward travel, and simply
rotating your palm will allow normal
steering. To reverse, slip your palm back
to the rear of the grip handle, and use the
tips of your fingers to pull the steering
levers backwards.
This will allow for more precise
control
of
the
unit.
