Travel direction and speed is controlled by the travel lever. To move in
the forward direction, pull (toward the operator) on the right side (a) of
the travel lever. To move in the reverse direction, pull (toward the
operator) the left side (b) of the travel lever. The further toward the
operator the lever is pulled, the faster the machine will travel. When
neither side of the travel lever is pulled, the travel lever is spring-
centered to the stopped position.
Keep both hands on the guide handle while operating the machine.
The guide handle may pivot rapidly when the machine changes travel
direction. This sudden movement of the guide handle can cause injury
if the guide handle is not under control.

The exciter provides the vibration and can be used in most applications
involving cohesive-type soils with heavy clay content, as well as loose
soils and gravel.
The vibration is controlled by the lever (c) on the guide handle. Moving
the lever forward turns the vibration ON and reverse to turn the
vibration OFF.
DO NOT run machine with the vibration on over hard surfaces like
concrete or compacted asphalt. The drum bearings can be damaged.
