and lower portion of traction drive engagement bar
(B) with both hands, slowly begin squeezing engage-
ment bar up toward handle. The unit should begin
moving forward.

• Grasping both upper handle/safety bar (A, Figure 6)
and upper portion of traction drive engagement bar
(B), slowly squeeze bar back toward handle. The unit

handle, the more the unit will accelerate. Likewise, slowly
releasing pressure on the bar will slowly decelerate the
unit. Releasing engagement bar altogether will disen-
gage transmission completely.
