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).
