Operation
Driving the Machine
CAUTION
Machine can spin very rapidly by positioning
one lever too much ahead of the other.
Operator may lose control of the machine,
which may cause damage to the machine
or injury.
• Use caution when making turns.
• Slow the machine down before making
sharp turns.
Important: To begin movement (forward or
backward) the operator must be in the seat, the
brake lever must be disengaged (pushed down)
before the motion control levers can be moved in
or the engine will stop.
When levers are centered in the T-slot the drive
system is in the neutral position. With levers moved
out in the T-slot the drive system is in the neutral lock
position (Figure 6).
