6. From forward travel, push LH (ground drive) control lever to 11:00 position and machine will begin to travel left.
7. Move LH (ground drive) control lever to 9:00 position and machine will move sharper left.
8. From forward travel, push LH (ground drive) control lever to 1:00 position and machine will begin to travel right.
9. Move LH (ground drive) control lever to 3:00 position and machine will move sharper right.
CAUTION
Although machine will make sharp pivot turns (power to one side) and counter-rotation
turns (power to both sides in opposite directions), it is more efficient and causes less wear
on components to turn through forward or reverse gradually.
10. To make a pivot turn left from neutral, push the LH (ground drive) control lever forward slightly and then left to
10:00 position.
11. To make a pivot turn right from neutral, push LH (ground drive) control lever forward slightly and then right to
2:00 position.
12. To make a pivot turn reverse left from neutral, pull LH (ground drive) control lever rearward slightly and then
right to 4:00 position.
13. To make a pivot turn reverse right from neutral, pull LH (ground drive) control lever rearward slightly and then
left to 8:00 position.
14. To counter-rotate left, push LH (ground drive) control lever straight left to 9:00 position. Left drive will engage
reverse as right drive engages forward.
15. To counter-rotate right, push LH (ground drive) control lever straight right to 3:00 position. Right drive will
engage reverse as left drive engages forward.
