WARNING
STEERING LEVER OPERATION
(refer to Fig. 4, page 18)
Do not move steering levers from for-
ward to reverse or reverse to forward
position rapidly. The sudden change
could cause loss of control or damage
to equipment.
The Grasshopper tractor is very un-
stable without an attachment. Move
very slowly when attachment is re-
moved. Never carry passengers.
Steering levers control speed and direction of
movement. Pushing the levers forward will
move the tractor forward. Pulling levers to the
rear will move tractor in reverse. The further for-
ward or rearward the steering levers are moved,
the faster the machine will move.
At half throttle move both steering levers from
swing-out neutral inward. Move both steering
levers forward. To turn right, advance left lever
further forward than right lever. To turn left,
advance right lever further forward than left
lever. If you leave one steering lever in neu-
tral and advance the other lever, the tractor will
turn a complete circle. Move the levers to the
rear and practice turning and maneuvering in
reverse. Once you learn how the controls oper-
ate, practice until you become proficient and
are comfortable with the unit before you begin
operation with an attachment.
If you become confused during opera-
tion release both steering levers, they
will automatically return to the cen-
tered neutral position and the tractor
will stop.
