4. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

4.1 CONTROLS

4.1.1 Familiarize yourself with the controls and operation of the unit.
Carefully read the following information about the controls and their operation.
4.1.2 Operator Presence Control (OPC) Levers:
Located on the upper handle assembly directly above the handle grips. When
these levers are depressed, the OPC system senses that the operator is in the
normal operator's position. When the levers are released, the OPC system
senses that the operator has moved from the normal operating position and
will kill the engine if either the transmission shift lever is not in the neutral position
or the PTO is engaged. See Figures 13 and 14.
4.1.3 Drive Levers:
Located on each side of the upper handle assembly directly below the handle grips.
See Figures 13 and 14. These levers individually control clutching action of the
wheel drive belts and brakes. When the drive levers are all the way down, the
brakes disengage and the wheel drive belts engage.
Gradually squeezing the left or right hand drive lever disengages the wheel drive
belts, causing the left hand or right hand wheel to slow down until they reach
neutral or stop. This makes the machine urn to the left or right respectively.
Squeezing further engages the park brakes. The sharpness of the turn varies by
how much the lever is squeezed. For straight ahead motion, smoothly release both
drive levers to engage both drive wheels simultaneously.
4.1.4 Neutral Lock/Park Brake Latches:
The latches allow the operator to lock the drive levers in a "neutral" position where
neither the wheel drive belts nor the brakes engage or in a "park brake" position
where the wheel drive belts are not engaged and the park brake is engaged. See
Figures 13 and 14.
Apply parking brakes whenever leaving the operators position.
