A Drive lever F Forward drive position
R Reverse drive position N Neutral position
P Parkbrake position
The neutral position is in the centre of the lever travel.
To operate the machine, move the drive lever forwards or backwards from the neutral position.
Move the lever forward to drive the machine forward and move the lever backward to reverse. The control is
proportional (i.e. the further the lever is moved from the neutral position, the faster the machine will travel.
Move the lever to the neutral position or parkbrake to stop the machine.
When you start or stop the engine, make sure that the drive lever is in the park position and that is has locked
in position.
The engine will only start when the drive lever is in the parkbrake position.
