controls. When both controls are in the neutral
position, the machine stands still.
By moving both controls an equal amount forward
or backward, the machine moves in a straight line

In order, for example, to turn right while moving
forward, move the right control towards the neutral
position. The rotation of the right wheel is reduced
and the machine turns to the right.
Turning on the spot (zero turn) can be achieved
by moving one control backward (behind the
neutral position) and carefully moving the other
steering control forward from its neutral position.
