Section 4
To steer the machine to the left while traveling forward,
allow the left steering control lever to move back toward
the neutral position. The further the steering control lever
is allowed to move back, the quicker the machine will
turn left.
To steer the machine to the right while traveling forward,
allow the right steering control lever to move back toward
the neutral position. The further the steering control lever
is allowed to move back, the quicker the machine will
turn right.
To stop the forward travel completely, allow the steering
control levers to return to the neutral position. If the
machine is to be parked, engage the parking brake.
- NOTE -
Smooth operation of the steering control levers will
produce smooth machine operation. While learning
the operation of the steering controls, keep the
travel speed low.
- IMPORTANT -
Do not travel forward over a curb. The machine will
hang up on the curb. Travel backwards over a curb
at a 45 degree angle.
REVERSE TRAVEL
CAUTION
Disengage power to the spraying/spreading
system before backing up. Do not spray/spread
in reverse unless absolutely necessary and then
only after observation of the entire area behind
the machine.

Before backing up, observe the rear for persons
and obstructions. Clear the area before backing
up. Possible injury or property damage could
occur.
To travel in reverse, pull both steering control handles
back. Keep the travel speed low while traveling in
reverse.
- NOTE -
The machine may not travel straight in reverse.
Slight adjustments may need to be made using
the steering controls.
To steer left while traveling in reverse, allow the left
steering control lever to move forward. The further the
control is allowed to move forward, the quicker the
machine will turn left.
To steer right while traveling in reverse, allow the right
steering control lever to move forward. The further the
control is allowed to move forward, the quicker the
machine will turn right.
To stop the reverse travel, allow the steering control levers
to return to the neutral position. If the machine is to be
parked, engage the parking brake.
