4. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 Controls
4.1.1 Operator Presence Control (OPC) Levers: Located on the upperhandle
assembly directly above the handle grips.
When these levers are depressed,
the OPC system senses that the operator is in the normal operator's
position.
When the levers are released, the OPC system senses that the
operator has moved from the normal operating position
and will kill the
engine if either the speed control lever is
not in the neutral
position or the
blade clutch is engaged
.
4.1.2 Speed Control Lever: Located in middle of control console, it controls the
maximum forward speed and is infinitely variable from neutral (0 mph) to 6.2
mph.
4.1.3 Drive Levers: Located on each side of the upper handle assembly directly
below the handle grips (See Figure 8). These levers individually control the
speed and direction of each drive wheel. When the speed control lever is
moved out of the neutral position and the neutral lock latches are moved into
the drive position, as shown in Figure 8, and the drive levers are released, the
drive wheels are engaged in the forward direction.
Squeezing the left hand and/or right hand lever causes the left hand and/or right
hand drive wheel respectively to slow down, stop, or reverse, depending on how
far each drive lever is "squeezed". Squeezing the drive levers beyond the neutral
position causes the drive wheels to engage in the reverse direction regardless of
the position of the neutral lock latches and the speed control lever.
