PTO and rise slightly from the seat; the engine
should stop.
4. Sitting on the seat, engage the paring brake,
move the PTO switch to off and move the
motion control levers to neutral lock position.
Now start the engine. While the engine is
running, center either motion control and
move (fonvard or reverse); the engine should
stop. Repeat for other motion control.
5. Sitting on the seat, disengage the paring brake,
move the PTO switch to off and move the
motion control levers to neutral lock position.
Try starting the engine; the engine should not
crank.
The farther you move the traction control
levers in either direction, the faster the machine
will move in that direction.
To stop, pull the motion control levers to the
neutral position.

Machine can spin very rapidly. Operator
may lose control of machine and cause
personal injury or damage to machine.
• Use caution when making turns.
• Slow the machine down before making
sharp turns.
Driving Forward
1. Release the paring brake; refer to Releasing
the Paring Brake in Operation, page 15.
2. Move the levers to the center, un-locked
position.
3. To go forward, slowly push the motion control
levers forward (Figure 16).
Note: The engine will _11 if the traction
control levers are moved with the paring
brake engaged.
To go straight, apply equal pressure to both
motion control levers (Figure 16).
To turn, move the motion control lever toward
neutral in the direction you want to turn
(Figure 16).
Driving Backward
1. Move the levers to the center, un-locked
position.
2. To go backward, slowly pull the motion control
levers rearward (Figure 16).
To go straight, apply equal pressure to both
motion control levers (Figure 16).
To turn, release pressure on the motion control
lever toward the direction you want to turn
(Figure 16).
To stop, push the motion control levers to the
neutral position.
Stopping the Machine
To stop the machine, move the traction control
levers to neutral and move to locked position,
disengage the power take off (PTO), and turn the
ignition key to off.
Set the paring brake when you leave the machine;
