3. Hold onto the steering wheel, and slowly press either
the left or right motion pedal with your corresponding
foot, in whichever direction you wish to move.
Note: The further you press the pedal, the faster you
will travel in that direction.
4. To stop, release the foot pedal and the machine will
stop.
Note: As you become familiar with the machine, you
will get the feel for when you should release the foot
pedal, which will be prior to where you want to finish
the run, as the machine will continue to roll for a short
time after you release the pedal. As you come to a
complete stop, gently press the other foot pedal for
your return pass.
Note: Do not press the foot pedals too quickly; this
will result in possible skidding and scuffing of the turf
under the drive roller as well as damage to the drive
system. You should always operate the foot pedals in a
controlled manner.
5. To move forward or back simply turn the steering
wheel to suit the direction for which you are aiming.
Note: As the direction changes at the end of every
run, you will need to practice with the machine to
become accustomed to the steering. To move forward
while traversing to the right, turn the steering wheel
counterclockwise. To move forward while traversing
to the left, turn the steering wheel clockwise. This is
reversed if you want to move backward.
Important: To stop the machine in an emergency,
press the other pedal to the neutral position. As an
example, with the right pedal pressed and traveling
to the right, press the left pedal to neutral to bring
the machine to a stop. This action must be firm
but not sudden as it may cause the machine to tip
sideways.
6. Before dismounting the machine, make sure that it is
parked on a level surface. Chock the wheels or rollers
as required.
