OPERATION OF CONTROLS
BRAKE PEDAL
The brake pedal stops the machine.
DIRECTIONAL PEDAL
The directional pedal controls direction of travel
and the propelling speed of the machine. You
change the speed of the machine with the
pressure of your foot; the harder you press the
faster the machine travels.
STEERING WHEEL
The steering wheel controls the machine’s
direction of travel.
HOURMETER
The hourmeter records the number of hours the
machine has been operated. Check the hourmeter
regularly; this information is used to determine
when to perform routine machine maintenance.
HORN BUTTON
The horn button operates the horn.
