The Controls And Instrument Panel - TGA sonet Operating Instructions And Owner's Handbook

Care! Warning
The Sonet is easy to drive but it is essential that you familiarise yourself with the controls and learn to drive it in a
safe area with sufficient room to manoeuvre for your safety and that of others. The area should be free of
obstacles and reasonably flat. Mark a practice course for straight line driving, turning in confined spaces,
reversing and driving around obstacles.

2. The Controls and Instrument Panel

Figs 1 & 2 provide details of the control system. Listed below are the various controls and their uses:
Speed Control Levers - Left hand and right hand. The speed and direction can be progressively
controlled with either hand. The RH lever requires pushing forward for forward speed and backward for
reverse speed. The left hand lever the opposite, ie push forward for reverse and backwards to go forward
(fig 2.1). Push or pull the lever gently as the more you move the lever, the quicker you will go.
Emergency Brake - All braking on the Sonet is automatic and the emergency brake should never need to
be used. It is only for emergency in the very unlikely event that the automatic braking fails. If used this lever
will cut all of the power of the machine and bring you safely to a halt. Lever located on left handle bar
