GENERAL OPERATION
Operation - 35
Forward and Reverse
Set the neutral assist lever to the desired position.
Verify that the intended path is safe and free from
obstacles. When safe to move, begin by disengaging
the parking brake.
WARNING
Do not remove your right hand from the SDLA
control lever unless you are using an optional foot
pedal to control the speed and direction. Forward/
reverse direction, speed, and braking are controlled
by the SDLA lever or the foot pedal. Your hand or
foot must always be ready to brake or stop the
power unit.
Power unit movement is
1
2
3
1. Forward
2. Neutral
3. Reverse
controlled by moving the SDLA
control lever in the desired
direction of travel. Push the
SDLA control lever forward to
move the power unit in the
forward direction. Pull the SDLA
control lever backward to move
the power unit in the reverse
direction. Changing the amount
the SDLA control lever is moved
changes the ground speed of
the power unit. Moving the lever
one half of the stroke will result
in approximately one half of the
maximum ground speed.
Moving the lever to the end of
the stroke will result in maxi-
mum ground speed.
If the power unit is equipped
with an optional foot pedal, the
foot pedal can be used to control the speed and direc-
tion instead of the SDLA control lever.
The SDLA control lever should be used for precision
control in tight spaces or when connecting an attach-
ment. The foot pedal is better suited to controlling
speed and direction in open areas.
Stopping the Power Unit
To slow or stop the power unit, move the SDLA control
lever or optional foot pedal toward the neutral posi-
tion. Return the SDLA control lever or optional foot
pedal to the neutral position to make a complete stop.
If in the case of an emergency, the power unit cannot
be stopped with the SDLA control lever, pull back on
the parking brake lever to engage the parking brake.
CAUTION
If the parking brake is engaged while the power unit
is moving, the engine will shut o and the power
unit will come to an abrupt stop.
1. Park the power unit on a level surface and engage
the parking brake.
2. Move the throttle lever to the slow idle position.
3. Allow the engine to idle for 3 - 5 minutes.
4. Turn the key to the O position and remove the
key from the ignition switch.
5. When parking the power unit at the end of the
day, turn the battery disconnect switch and the
fuel shut-o valve to the O positions.
