Think Safety First

Please carefully read all the safety instructions on
pages 2–8 and view the training video. Following
these instructions could help you or bystanders avoid
injury.

Controls

Become familiar with all the controls (Fig. 8) before
you start the engine and operate the machine.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operator could fall off platform.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Operator could be seriously injured.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not move any of the control levers
unless standing with both feet on the
platform and hands holding the hand grips.
Key Switch
The key switch, used to start and stop the engine, has
four positions: OFF, ON, GLOW and START. Rotate
key clockwise to GLOW position and hold for 5–7
seconds, then to START position to engage starter
motor. Release key when engine starts. The key will
move automatically to the ON position. To shut
engine off, rotate key counterclockwise to OFF
position.
Throttle
Move control forward to increase engine speed,
rearward to decrease speed.
Traction control levers
To go forward, slowly push the traction control levers
forward.
To go straight, apply equal force to both traction
control levers.
To turn, decrease force on the traction control lever
toward the direction you want to turn.
The farther you move the traction control levers in
either direction, the faster the machine will move in
that direction.
To slow or stop, move the traction control levers to
neutral. Do not release lever quickly.
