A - DIRECTIONAL CONTROL PEDAL
This pedal controls the direction of travel and the
speed of the machine.
Slowly pressing the front of the pedal causes the
machine to travel forward. Pressing the rear of the
pedal causes the vehicle to travel in reverse. The
machine speed can be controlled by varying the
pressure on the front or rear of the pedal.
FOR SAFETY:
The machine can coast for a short
distance after releasing the directional pedal. Use
the brake pedal to slow or stop the machine.
B – BRAKE PEDAL
This brake operates the disc brakes on the two front
tires. To slow or stop the machine, apply pressure

depress the brake pedal. To release the parking
brake, slide the parking brake knob to the bottom of
its slot. The brake pedal will return to its raised

positioned in the forward end of its slot.
The side broom lever controls the position and the
drive of the side broom. To start the side broom and
lower it to the floor, release the side broom lever and
let it drop to the front end of its slot. To shut off and
raise the side broom, pull the side broom lever back
into its locked position.
When parking the machine, always raise the brooms
