STEERING LEVER OPERATION
(refer to Fig. 4)
Do not move steering levers from
forward 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
unstable without an attachment.
Move very slowly when attachment is
removed. 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, ad-
vance right lever further forward than left lever.
If you leave one steering lever in neutral and ad-
vance 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 operate, prac-
tice until you become proficient and are
comfortable with the unit before you begin opera-
tion with an attachment.
If you become confused during
operation release both steering levers,
they will automatically return to the
centered neutral position and the
tractor will stop.
