Tines
Neutral Handle
The neutral handle is located on the upper left handle. When the
neutral handle is in the forward (disengaged) position the tiller is in
neutral and the wheels are in "free wheel." To engage the wheels
(forward or reverse), pull the neutral handle rearward into the
engaged position. The neutral handle will remain in the engaged
position until it is moved back into the free wheel position.
Reverse Handle
The reverse handle is located on the upper right handle. When the
reverse handle is pulled back into the reverse position, the tines and
wheels (if the the neutral handle is engaged) will move in reverse. To
activate the reverse movement of the tines only, engage the reverse
handle with the neutral handle in the free wheel position. When the
reverse handle is released, it will return to the forward (disengaged)
position and the tines and wheels will stop moving.
Clutch Bail
The clutch bail is located below the handles. When the clutch
ON
bail is in the disengaged position the tines will not rotate. When
the clutch bail is pulled upward against the handles in the the
engaged position, the tines are engaged and will rotate forward
until the engine is stopped or the clutch bail is released. When
the neutral handle is also in the engaged position, this will allow
the tines and wheels to move forward.
