Operation
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the
machine from the normal operating position.

Controls

Note: Become familiar with all the controls before
starting the engine and operating the machine.
Motion Control Levers
The motion control levers, located on each side of the
top console, control the forward and reverse motion
of the machine.
Moving the levers forward or backward turns
the wheel on the same side forward or reverse
respectively. Wheel speed is proportional to the
amount the lever is moved.
Moving the levers outward, from the center position
into the notch, locks them in the neutral position
(see Figure 4).

Note: When the levers are out in the neutral
position, the neutral LCD indicator will appear, but
the Operator Presence will not.
Note: When either lever is moved inward from
the neutral position, the neutral LCD indicator will
disappear and the Operator Presence indicator will
appear.

The choke is used to aid in starting a cold engine.
Moving the choke lever forward will put the choke in
the "ON" position and moving the choke lever to the
rear, to the detent, will put the choke in the "OFF"
position. Do Not run a warm engine with choke in

Throttle Control
Located on the LH side of the control console (red
lever).
The throttle is used to control engine speed. Moving
the throttle lever forward will increase engine speed
and moving the throttle lever to the rear will decrease
engine speed. Moving the throttle forward into the
detent is full throttle.
Park Brake Lever
Located on the right side of the machine.
The brake lever engages a parking brake on the drive
wheels.
Note: The LCD indicator appears in the message
display on the front console when the park brake is
engaged (see Figure 5 and Figure 7).
