STEERING (CHANGING DIRECTION)

DANGER
When the blade is directed backward, the operation of the travel levers is inverted; before operating the
travel levers, check the position of the blade.
If possible, avoid any abrupt change of direction. Counter-rotations should be carried out with the ma-
chine at rest.
Due to the considerable friction created when changing direction, it is advisable not to use the speed
increase pedal.

WARD, pull the lever.

same way.

same way.
