By moving the levers an equal amount forward
or back the machine will move in a straight line
in that direction. FIG - 11
Movement of either lever forward will cause the
right or left wheel to rotate in a forward direc-
tion. To stop movement pull both levers into the
neutral position.
To turn right while moving in a forward direction
pull the right lever back towards the neutral
position, this will slow the rotation of the right
wheel and cause the machine to turn in that
direction.
To turn left while moving in a forward direction
pull the left lever back towards the neutral
position, this will slow the rotation of the left
wheel and cause the machine to turn in that
direction.
To zero turn pull one lever back beyond neutral
while holding the other slightly ahead of neu-
tral. NOTE: The direction of the zero turn will
be determined by which lever is pulled back
beyond neutral. Thus left lever back, left zero
turn and opposite for right zero turn. Use extra
care when using this maneuver the machine
can spin very rapidly if one lever is posi-
tioned to far ahead of the other.
