Before Driving
Until the operator is familiar with the controls and understands the capability of the machine, use a slower
ground speed to move the machine. Use reduced speeds when operating in rough terrain or in small areas.
A handgrip bar is provided to allow the operator to keep both hands on the bar for stability when using machine.
Always keep both hands firmly on the handgrip before starting to move the machine. Keep both hands on the
grip whenever moving or operating ground drive controls. Return controls to NEUTRAL before removing your
hands from the handgrip bar. Before driving or operating the mini skid steer, survey the area around the
machine for persons or obstacles.
Place hands, palms down, on the handgrip bar so fingers are on the forward area of the bar and the palms on the
rear portion of the bar, with the joystick knob cradled between thumb and forefinger. This provides a secure grip
and good lever control.
This machine is not intended to be driven on public roads.
