CONTROLS
1. Motion Control Levers
The machine’s speed and direction are
continuously variable using the two steering
controls. The steering controls can be moved
forward or backward about a neutral position.
Furthermore, there is a neutral position,
which is locked if the steering controls are
moved outward.
When both controls are in the neutral position
(N), the machine stands still.
By moving both controls an equal amount
forward or backward, the machine moves in a
straight line forward or backward
respectively.
In order, for example, to turn right while
moving forward, move the right control
towards the neutral position. The rotation of
the right wheel is reduced and the machine
turns to the right.
Zero turn can be achieved by moving one
control backward (behind the neutral position)
and carefully moving the other steering
control forward from its neutral position. The
rotation direction when zero turning is
determined by which steering control is
moved backward behind the neutral position.
If the left steering control is pulled backward,
the machine turns to the left. Use extra care
when using this maneuver.
If the steering controls are in uneven
positions when standing still or do not fit in
the slots for moving the controls outward,
they can be adjusted.
