Motion Control Levers, WARNING, The machine can turn very rapidly, if one steering control is moved

Page 19 highlights

CONTROLS Motion Control Levers The machine's speed and direction are continuously variable using the two steering controls. The steering controls can be moved forward or backward about a neutral position. Furthermore, there is a neutral position, which is locked if the steering controls are moved outward. When both controls are in the neutral position (N), the machine stands still. By moving both controls an equal amount forward or backward, the machine moves in a straight line forward or backward respectively. In order, for example, to turn right while moving forward, move the right control towards the neutral position. The rotation of the right wheel is reduced and the machine turns to the right. Zero turn can be achieved by moving one control backward (behind the neutral position) and carefully moving the other steering control forward from its neutral position. The rotation direction when zero turning is determined by which steering control is moved backward behind the neutral position. If the left steering control is pulled backward, the machine turns to the left. Use extra care when using this maneuver. Steering controls 8065-003 WARNING! The machine can turn very rapidly if one steering control is moved much further forward than the other. 1. Forward 2. Neutral 3. Neutral slot, Neutral lock 4.

Motion Control Levers
The machine’s speed and direction are
continuously variable using the two steering
controls. The steering controls can be moved
forward or backward about a neutral position.
Furthermore, there is a neutral position, which is
locked if the steering controls are moved outward.
When both controls are in the neutral position (N),
the machine stands still.
By moving both controls an equal amount forward
or backward, the machine moves in a straight line
forward or backward respectively.
In order, for example, to turn right while moving
forward, move the right control towards the neutral
position. The rotation of the right wheel is reduced
and the machine turns to the right.
Zero turn can be achieved by moving one control
backward (behind the neutral position) and carefully
moving the other steering control forward from its
neutral position. The rotation direction when zero
turning is determined by which steering control
is moved backward behind the neutral position.
If the left steering control is pulled backward, the
machine turns to the left. Use extra care when using
this maneuver.

WARNING!
The machine can turn very rapidly
if one steering control is moved
much further forward than the
other.
