4.1

Controls

4.1.1 Drive Levers: Located on each side of the upper handle assembly directly
below the handle grips (See Figure 4). These levers individually control the
speed and direction of each drive wheel. When the speed control lever is
moved out of the neutral position and the neutral lock latches are moved into
the drive position, as shown in Figure 4, and the drive levers are released, the
drive wheels are engaged in the forward direction.
Squeezing the left hand and/or right hand lever causes the left hand and/or
right hand drive wheel respectively to slow down, stop, or reverse, depending
on how far each drive lever is "squeezed". Squeezing the drive levers beyond
the neutral position causes the drive wheels to engage in the reverse direction
regardless of the position of the neutral lock latches and the speed control
lever.
4.1.2 Neutral Lock Latch: Located directly above the drive levers. These latches
allow the operator to lock the drive levers in a "neutral" position where neither
of the drive wheels are engaged in either a forward or reverse direction. See
Figure 4.
4.1.3 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 speed control lever is not in the neutral position or the
blade clutch is engaged.
4.1.4 Electric Blade Clutch Engagement: Switch is located on left side of control
console. The switch must be pulled out to the "Rotate" position to engage
the blades. The switch is pushed in to the "Stop" position to stop the blades.
Operator must have operator presence control levers depressed when blades
are engaged or engine will stop.
4.1.5 Choke Control: Located on the control console right side. Choke is used to aid
in starting a cold engine. The "Off" position is pushed in and the "On" position
pulled out. Do not run a warm engine with choke in the "On" position.
