2.3  OPERATION – MOTION CONTROL 

2.3.1. DRIVING 

MACHINE 

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. Release the joystick and it will gradually 
return toward the neutral position. When the parking 
brake is engaged, it will lock joystick lever in the 
neutral position. The engine will only crank or start if 
parking brake lever is engaged and the blade switch 
is in the “OFF” position. 
 
1.   
With engine running, adjust engine speed 
control to Rabbit or “FAST” position. 
2.  Release parking brake. 
3.  Move joystick lever carefully and slowly into 
desired speed position. A small movement of the 
joystick can cause the machine to move instantly. 
Move joystick carefully and slowly. 
FORWARD – Move control forward. 
REVERSE – Move control to the rear. 
LEFT TURN -  Move control towards left. 
RIGHT TURN -  Move control towards right. 
ZERO RADIUS TURN – Move control diagonally 
from neutral in desired direction. See Figure 2.11.
