Move Ground Drive Joystick slowly to start moving the machine smoothly. Avoid
sudden stopping, starting, or turning unless necessary. Operate machine up and down
an incline, not across the incline. Use extra care when working on inclines.
When driving over an object such as a curb, the machine can pitch forward or
backward quickly. Watch for these objects and travel very slowly. If you will encounter
the same object repeatedly, build a ramp with dirt to make traveling smoother.
Step 1: Refer to “Starting Procedure,” page 22-1.
Step 2: Move Throttle (1) forward and hold until desired engine speed is reached for
the work being done.
Step 3: Ensure attachment is in transport position (as low as practical and tilted
back).
If operator weight is removed from platform, machine hydraulic functions will stop. If attachment Lift/Tilt
Joystick is in FLOAT, it will continue to lower/float.
Step 4: Use Ground Drive Joystick (2) to move and steer the machine. Do not jerk control lever. Hold firmly
onto handgrip (3) with both hands while operating.
Step 5: When parking the machine, always follow Shutdown Procedure. Follow Shutdown Procedure, page 23-1.
Never leave machine with engine running or attachment raised.
The Operator Presence system in the operator platform detects the presence of an operator. The operator must
be standing on the platform
for the ground drive, lift/tilt functions, or auxiliary attachment drive to be engaged.
Keep both feet on the platform.
