Pre-Start Inspection and Operation
Machine Travel Controls
• Levers and controls should return to the neutral position when they are released.
• Make sure that all of the controls are in the neutral (middle) position before starting the
engine.
• Operate the controls gradually and smoothly. Excessive speed and quick control movements
without regard for working conditions could cause an unsafe situation.
• Make sure to maintain your grip on both of the hand grips any time the machine is in motion.
Due to the spring tension system built into the track drive system as a safety mechanism, the
machine can be put into an extreme situation during which the drive sprocket will
bypass the rubber track guide holes causing a popping noise, called "cogging".
This situation is part of the track drive systems safety design, and indicates
that this portion of the safety system is functioning properly.
