WARNING
Before operating the travel levers, check the direction of the track frame (the position of the sprocket). If
the sprocket is at the rear, the machine moves in the reverse direction to the operation of the travel levers.
Use the travel levers to change direction.
Avoid sudden changes of direction as far as possible. In partic-
ular, when carrying out counter-rotation (spin turn), stop the
machine first before turning.
Operate two travel levers (1) as follows.
