TURFCO T3000i SERIES APPLICATOR

DRIVING THE MACHINE

 

(See Figures 3, 4 and 5)

To  begin  your  driving  lesson  you  will 

need a large smooth paved level area 

like a parking lot.

Forward and Reverse Operation

(See Figure 3)

1.  Stand  on  the  operators  platform 

before  touching  anything.  Do  No

stand on the yellow pedal.

2. Place one hand on the support bar 

and grip the steering wheel with the 

other hand.

3. Release the Parking Brake.
4.  Using  the  hand  on  the  support 

bar, move the speed control lever 

slowly

  towards  the  support  bar. 

The  machine  should  move  ahead 

slowly.  Slowly  moving  the  speed 

control bar closer to the support bar 

will increase the forward speed.

5. The machine has a braking system in 

the transmission that automatically 

stops the machine when the speed 

control is released. Let go of the speed control and it will 

go to neutral applying the brake. The machine will quickly 

come  to  a  full  stop  in  just  a  few  feet  of  travel. Try  this 

many times to get used to the braking action.
● Go ahead slowly and release the speed control lever. 

The control will return to the neutral position and the 

machine will stop. 

The machine will stop quickly.

●  You  may  speed  up  a  little  as  you  become  more 

accustomed to the start and stop characteristics of the 

machine. Continue this for several minutes gradually 

getting more speed and becoming used to the stopping 

motion.

● Also try the same movement using the reverse lever on 

the left side. 

6. The reverse speed control is under the left side support 

bar.  Move  the  reverse  speed  control  upward  toward 

the  support  bar 

slowly

.  The  machine  will  slowly  start 

moving in reverse. Try this a few times to get used to the 

movement and control.  

Using Forward Speed Control Pedal

  

(See Figure 4)

The T3000i Applicator has a “Forward Speed Control Pedal”. 

This pedal can be used to control forward speed, the same as 

the forward speed control handles. This allows the operator 

to use his hand to operate the other spreader and sprayer 

controls on the machine.
