MACHINE OPERATION
THROTTLE (GAS AND LP)
The throttle adjusts the engine speed from idle to the
operating speed. The LP and Gasoline models have a three
speed throttle switch with idle (turtle), run (rabbit) and fast
(tornado) selections.
• The throttle should be in the IDLE (turtle) position
when starting the engine and immediately before
shutdown.
• The throttle should be in the RUN (rabbit) position
during normal operation to ensure proper broom
speed.
CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR (GAS AND LP ONLY)
The indicator will illuminate in the event that the engine
water temperature rises above 226 degrees or oil pressure
drops below 7 psi. Shut down the unit and perform the
required service.
CAUTION
When the check engine indicator illuminates,
it indicates a service issue that requires
maintenance.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL PEDAL
The directional control pedal controls the speed and direction
of the machine. It is also used for slowing the machine or
stopping.
• To propel the machine forward, apply pressure to the
front of the pedal, increasing pressure to increase
speed.
• To propel the machine backward, apply pressure to the
rear of the pedal.
• To slow or stop the machine, move the foot pedal into
neutral.
• For emergency stops, move the foot pedal past neutral
and into the opposite position.
CAUTION
Use for emergency stops only! Constant use of
this braking method may result in damage to the
drive components.
