Turns during reverse movement:
–
Reverse right turn
-
move the right traction
lever forward toward
neutral to slow the right
drive wheel.
–
Reverse left turn
-
move the left traction
lever forward toward
neutral to slow the left
drive wheel.
Slow, sweeping turns are made with both traction
levers on the same side of neutral and slightly
apart. True zero radius turns about the center of the
machine are made by having one lever in reverse
while the other is in forward. By varying the relative
positions of the two levers, the rate of turn is varied to
suit the situation.
Slow down before making sharp turns. The machine
is capable of turning very rapidly when the levers are
moved further apart from each other. Loss of control
and/or turf damage may result.
STOPPING
1. Raise tines.
2. Release control traction levers or move to neutral.
3. Engage the parking brake.
4. Turn key to OFF (counterclockwise).
STEERING
Forward movement
- To
move the machine straight
ahead, push both control
levers forward equally
from their neutral posi-
tion.
Increase speed:
as the levers are moved
farther forward from the neutral position.
Decrease
speed:
when traveling forward, pulling the traction
levers rearward slows the machine.
Stopping:
The
machine will stop when the levers reach the neutral
position.
Reverse movement
- To
move the machine straight
back, pull both traction
levers back equally from
their neutral position. Re-
verse speed increases as the levers are moved back
farther. Maximum reverse speed is reached when the
levers stop. When moving in reverse, pushing the
levers forward slows the machine, and the machine
stops when the neutral position is reached.
NOTE
: The control levers are spring loaded to return
to neutral in both forward and reverse. This spring
resistance may be felt when moving the traction le-
vers. When control levers are released, spring ten-
sion will quickly return them to the neutral position.
To turn, move
one lever forward and one back.
Turns during forward movement:
–
Forward
Right turn
- move the right trac-
tion lever back toward
neutral to slow the right
drive wheel.
–
Forward Left turn
- move the left traction
lever back toward neu-
tral to slow the left drive
wheel.
