A. If you have a self-propelled machine (ZR type)
• Start the engine (“9.4 Starting the Petrol Engine” on
page 25).
• Move the throttle control lever so that the engine runs
at low speed .
• Make sure that the blade axle is disengaged so that
no chips are ejected. (“9.6.3 During the work” on page
30).
• Moving the machine:
Move the control handle forwards (1) then the
machine will move forwards. The more you move
the control handle forwards, the faster the speed.
The opposite also works: Turning the control handle backwards will cause the machine to
move backwards at a speed proportional to the amount that you move the control handle.
B. If you have the Cross Country version (version with caterpillar tracks)
• Start the engine (“9.4 Starting the Petrol Engine” on page 25).
• Move the throttle control lever so that the engine runs at low speed .
• To move the machine, perform the following steps:
The control handle consists of two separate handles, where the left-hand handle controls the
left-hand track, and the right-hand handle controls the right-hand track.
• To move the machine straight ahead (forwards or backwards) : Move both control handles at
the same time. Moving both control handles will cause the machine to move forwards, moving
them backwards will cause the machine to move backwards.
Caution:
If you do not move both control handles by the same amount, the machine will
not move in a straight line.
• To turn to the right: By moving the left-hand control
handle (1) through a larger angle than the right-hand con-
trol handle (2), the machine turns to the right. The greater
the difference between the control handles, the faster the
machine will turn.
• To turn to the left: Move right-hand control handle (2)
through a larger angle than the left-hand handle (1) will
cause the machine to turn to the left.
• To turn the machine on the spot: Move each handle in
opposite directions.
WARNING
KEEP YOUR FEET SAFE !
The operator must be on his guard and move the control
handles carefully.
