To Start and Increase Speed
Refer to Figure 2-9 on page 20:

control levers by moving handles fully (IN). This makes
the levers ready for steering while traveling. Moving
control levers an equal distance away from neutral will
increase travel speed.
• Start forward travel by gently pushing on the control
levers. The further forward the control levers are
pushed the faster the travel speed.
• Start backing up by gently pulling on the control levers.
The further back the control levers are pulled the faster
the travel speed.

• When backing up, push forward gently on control
levers to decrease speed until neutral is reached.
• Move control levers to neutral to stop. (Ref. Frame #2)
