Features & Controls
Ground Speed Levers
These levers control the ground speed of the rider. The
left lever controls the left rear drive wheel and the right
controls the right rear drive wheel.
Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD speed
of the associated wheel, and pulling back on a lever
increases the REVERSE speed.
The further a lever is moved away from the neutral
position the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See the OPERATION section for steering instructions.

forward to increase engine speed and back to decrease
engine speed. Always operate at FULL throttle.

choking. Move the lever forward to close the choke.
