PARKING BRAKE/DIRECTION LEVER
Before the power buggy can be put into operational use,
it is best to perform a test run to make certain that all
components are functioning properly.
1. Place the buggy on flat solid ground.
2. Engage the parking brake lever.
3. Place the engine's throttle control (Figure 15) in the
SLOW (idle) position.
4. Place the power buggy's direction lever (Figure 21) in
the forward direction.
Figure 21. Direction Lever
5. Slowly squeeze the speed control lever slightly
(Figure 20), for a short period of time to test the brake
holding capacity. If the buggy moves forward, adjust
the brakes as outlined in the maintenance section of
this manual.
6. If the buggy does not move forward, release the
speed control, and disengage the parking brake. If
the buggy creeps forward or reverse while the parking
brake is disengaged, the machine will require service
adjustment of the pump control lever as outlined in the
maintenance section of this manual.

functioning properly, the buggy is ready for operation.
