2. OPERATION
2.1.4 Operating levers and pedals
Forward-reverse lever (F-R lever) with vibrator switch
Moving the F-R lever forward or backward makes the
machine travel forward or backward respectively. The
neutral position brings the machine to a stop. The vehicle
speed increases or decreases in proportion to the lever
displacement.
The vibrator ON-OFF control is easily made by the F-R
lever top vibrator switch (See page 23).
