Section 2 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

 
IMPORTANT: This YARD CRUISER is equipped with 
hydrostatic drive. The forward, rearward and steering 
movement of the machine is controlled by a joystick 
lever. Joystick operations should be performed only 
from the operator’s position in the seat. A small 
movement of the joystick can cause the machine to 
move instantly. Move joystick very carefully and slowly.
  
 
1.  Always move the joystick to the center position to 
“STOP” machine. IMPORTANT: To stop machine 
always return the joystick with hand assistance to the 
neutral position. Always engage parking brake when 
leaving operator’s seat. 
2. Move the joystick forward to propel the machine 
forward.  
3. Move the joystick rearward to propel the machine 
backward. 
4.  Move the joystick to the right to rotate the front of 
the machine in circular motion to the right, as in turning 
around to go in a different direction. 
5.  Move the joystick to the left to rotate the front of the 
machine in circular motion to the left, as in turning 
around to go in a different direction. 
 
2.2  STARTING & OPERATION 

2.2.1.  ENGINE (ELECTRIC START) 
When the ignition key is turned to “START”, the engine 
will not turn over unless the parking brake is engaged 
and the blade switch is in the “OFF” position! 
 
2.2.2. OPERATION 
Be seated on the YARD CRUISER before attempting 
to start the engine with the key switch. 
1. Make certain the blade switch is in the “OFF” 
position. 
2.  Make certain the joystick lever is in the neutral (N) 
position as shown in Figure 2.5. 
 

IMPORTANT: The joystick lever has to be manually moved 
to propel machine. Always return the joystick with hand 
assistance to the neutral position to stop machine. The 
machine will only crank or start if parking brake is engaged 
and the blade switch is in the “OFF” position. 
 

3.  Make certain the parking brake lever is engaged. 
See Figure 2.6. 
4. Move engine speed control to the choke position to 
start a cold engine. See Figure 2.6. 
5. Turn key to the start position until engine starts.  See 
Figure 2.5. 
6. After engine starts, move engine speed control 
away from the choke position to the (Rabbit) “Fast“ 
position.
