Drive Joystick
It is recommended to make gradual sweeping
turns.
Push joystick forward (A) to move skidsteer
forward.
Pull joystick rearward (C) to move skidsteer
rearward.
For gradual turns, push joystick forward/left or
forward/right and skidsteer will slowly turn left or
right. Pull rearward for reverse.
For tight turns, move joystick closer to right (B) or
left (D) but never straight to (B) or (D) as there is a
neutral zone to protect the engine from stalling on
a surface with excessive traction.
Full throttle may be desired for experienced
operators; inexperienced operators should not try
to make tight turns.
The further you move the joystick in any direction,
the faster the skidsteer will move in that direction.
Release joystick or move to the center neutral
position to stop movement.
