Drive System
This saw has a cable-controlled Hydro-Gear hydrostatic powered transaxle with
infinite F-N-R speed adjustment via a joystick controller. The saw is designed
with locked axle drive, and can travel at speeds up to 300 feet per minute.
Drive System Controls
The panel-mounted joystick controls FORWARD-NEUTRAL-REVERSE
(F-N-R) and infinitely variable speeds in both directions. To increase forward
speed, slowly move the joystick FORWARD. Pulling the joystick backward
decreases saw speed, and when the joystick passes NEUTRAL the saw moves
into REVERSE. Reverse speed is also controlled by the position of the joystick.
The Drive Disengage handle, when pulled, puts the saw in "free wheeling"
mode. This is not a "true" Neutral, but does provide a by-pass in the
pump/motor group that allows the saw to be readily moved. Some rolling
resistance will be encountered.
