Picking Assistant Operation
1. Check to be sure the battery on the picking assistant is
charged and ready for use. Press the battery check button
(a) on the switch box, and read the gauge (b) above it to
assure the battery is charged (Figure 7).
2. Make sure the motor assembly (a) is not in the neutral
position and that the pull-pin is properly locked into one
of the operating position holes (b) as shown (Figure 8).
3. Turn the picking assistant on by flipping the switch (c)
away from the “off” position to either “forward” or
“reverse” (Figure 7).
4. With the switch in either the “forward” or “reverse”
position press and hold the foot switch (a), located on the
foot rest (b), with your left foot to move in the selected
direction (Figure 9).
5. As you move along the row, use the steering arm (a) to
steer the picking assistant (Figure 10).
6. When the battery needs to be charged, see the
instructions in the battery maintenance section (page 8).
7. If the picking assistant is to be stored on an incline, be
sure to have one, or both, motors engaged to prevent the
picking assistant from moving.
8. Always flip the power switch (c) (Figure 7) to the off
position when leaving the picking assistant unattended for
any reason.
