the throttle lever forward will increase engine speed
and moving the throttle lever to the rear will decrease
engine speed. Moving the throttle forward into the
detent is full throttle.
Front Reference/Speed Control Bar
Located in front of the motion control levers (see

LH motion control lever (see Figure 5).
The brake lever engages a parking brake on the drive
wheels.

engaged (see
Figure 5 and Figure 7).
To engage the brake, pull the lever rearward.
To release, push the lever forward.
When parking on a steep slope, the wheels must be
chocked or blocked in addition to the brake being
engaged. The unit must be tied down and brake
engaged when transporting.
Park brake must be disengaged before moving
motion control out of neutral or engine will kill.

(see Figure 5).
The ignition switch is used to start and stop the
engine. The switch has three positions “OFF”, “ON”
and “START”. Insert key into switch and rotate

the next position to engage the starter (key must be
held against spring pressure in this position). Allow
