Note: Determine the left and right sides of the
machine from the normal operating position.
Controls
Operator Presence Control (OPC)
Levers
Located on the upper handle assembly directly above
the handle grips.
When these levers are depressed, the OPC system
senses that the operator is in the normal operator’s
position. When the levers are released, the OPC
system senses that the operator has moved from the
normal operating position and will kill the engine if
either the speed control lever is not in the neutral
position or the PTO is engaged.

Drive Levers
Located on each side of the upper handle assembly
ahead of and below the handle grips.
These levers individually control the speed and
direction of each drive wheel. When the speed control
lever is moved out of the neutral position and the
neutral lock latches are moved into the drive position,
as shown in Figure 4, and the drive levers are released,
the drive wheels are engaged in the forward direction.
Squeezing the left hand and/or right hand lever
causes the left hand and/or right hand drive wheel
respectively to slow down, stop, or reverse, depending
on how far each drive lever is “squeezed”. Squeezing
the drive levers beyond the neutral position causes
the drive wheels to engage in the reverse direction
regardless of the position of the neutral lock latches
and the speed control lever.
Neutral Lock Latches
Located on the upper handle assembly on the ends
of the handle grips.
These latches allow the operator to lock the drive
levers in a “neutral” position where the drive wheels
are not engaged in either a forward or reverse
direction.
Choke Control
Located on the control console front right hand side.
Choke is used to aid in starting a cold engine. The
choke control is pulled out to be in the “ON” position
and pushed in to be in the “OFF” position. Do Not
run a warm engine with choke in the “ON” position.
Throttle Control
Located on the control console’s right side.
The throttle is used to control engine speed. Moving
the throttle control forward will increase engine
speed and moving it to the rear will decrease engine
speed. Moving the throttle forward into the detent
is full position.
Speed Control Lever
Located in middle of control console.
The speed control lever controls the maximum
forward speed and is innitely variable from neutral
0–6.75 mph (10.9 km/hr).
Park brake must be disengaged to move speed control
out of neutral or engine will kill.
Brake Lever
Located on the left side of the unit above the
hydraulic tank.
