DRIVING & MANOUEVERING THE MACHINE
Operation of the machine must only be performed by a responsible person who
has read the manual and is familiar with the machine controls and all aspects
relating to its safe use.
It is advisable that all new operators practice using the machine, without the
cutting head running, in a safe open area in order to familiarise themselves
with the controls and movements of the machine.
Forwards & Backwards Travel (Default Mode)
Operation of the machine’s forward and backwards movements are controlled by using the left-
hand joystick (A) on the remote controls; push the lever forwards to move the machine forwards,
pull the lever backwards to move the machine backwards. The joystick operates proportionally,
therefore; the further the lever is moved the faster the machine travels. The maximum speed
available will be determined by gear and potentiometer settings, switch ‘K’ and dial switch ‘C’,
details of which are in the following pages.
Forwards & Backwards Travel (Direction Swap Mode)
Direction Swap Mode is selected by activation of switch ‘L’; this swaps the machines direction of
travel on operation of joystick ‘A’. The primary function of this feature is for ease of operation
when the machine’s particular work tool is ‘rear mounted’ type and requires the machine to be
operated in reverse.
