Proper drive functions are essential to safe
machine operation. The drive function should
respond quickly and smoothly to operator control.
Drive performance should also be free of
hesitation, jerking and unusual noise over the
entire proportionally controlled speed range.
Perform this procedure with the
machine on a firm, level surface
that is free of obstructions.

lines on the ground 40 feet / 12.2 m apart.

out the red Emergency Stop button to the on
position at both the ground and platform
controls.

position.
5 Press the drive speed button (if equipped) until
the high speed (rabbit) light is illuminated..
6 Choose a point on the machine; i.e., contact

reaching the start line. Begin timing when your
reference point on the machine crosses the
start line.
