Ground Speed Control Levers
These levers control the ground speed of the rider.
The left lever controls the left rear drive wheel and the
right lever controls the right rear drive wheel.
Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD
speed of the associated wheel, and pulling back on a
lever increases the REVERSE speed.
Note: The further a lever is moved away from the
neutral position the faster the drive wheel will turn.
