By moving both levers an equal amount forward or back from the neutral position
the machine can be caused to move forward or backward in a straight line.
Movement of the left lever forward will cause the left drive wheel to rotate in a
forward direction. Movement of the right lever forward will cause the right
drive wheel to rotate in a forward direction. To stop forward travel, pull the
levers back to the neutral position.
To turn left while moving forward, move the left lever back toward neutral to
slow the left drive wheel.
To turn right while moving forward, move the right lever back toward neutral.
To make a zero turn to the left, pull the left lever back beyond neutral while
holding the right lever slightly ahead of neutral.
To make a zero turn to the right, pull the right lever back beyond the neutral
position while holding the left lever slightly ahead of the neutral position.
Pulling the levers back from the neutral position will cause the respective drive
wheels to rotate in a reverse direction (spring tension can be felt when moving
into reverse from neutral).
To turn to the left while backing, move the left lever forward toward neutral. To
turn to the right while backing, move the right lever forward toward neutral.
