7. Basic Operation
7-1 Traveling
● By means of hydraulic variable speed
drive the machine travels forward when
the forward pedal is depressed and
travels backward when the reverse
pedal is depressed.
● When collecting over bumpy surfaces,
reduce the operating speed. Simply re-
duce the traveling speed while keeping
the engine rpm steady.
Operating the machine on public roads is legally prohibited.
Before backing up, look behind you to check that the path is clear and
that you can back up safely.
Since turf tires have a lower pneumatic pressure than standard tires,
sufficiently reduce the traveling speed when turning.
●
Otherwise, the sidewalls may be damaged or burst.
1) 2WD/4WD Selection
● This machine can be operated in 2WD
or 4WD, and the appropriate drive
type can be selected according to the
operating conditions. Use the switch in
the control box on the right side of the
seat.
* See “6-6 Control Box”.
For safety, 2WD/4WD selection can only be done while the pedals are
in the neutral positions. Therefore, stop the machine before switching
between 2WD and 4WD operation.
