BTurning
To avoid personal injury or death:
A Do not turn sharply at high speeds. It is
dangerous. In the worst possible case, the
machine may turn over.
A The steering wheel for this machine will not
return of itself to the straight ahead position
after turning. Be sure to return the wheel to the
straight ahead position.
A Steering lose will result if the engine is stopped
during travel.
Do not stop the engine during travel.
To steer the machine to either side, turn the steering
wheel in the intended direction.
1. The front and rear frames of this machine bend at the
center pin (the pin connecting the 2 frames) so that
when the machine turns, the rear wheels follow the
tracks of the front wheels.
2. Rotate the steering wheel to follow the turn of the
machine. When turning fully, never attempt to rotate
the steering wheel once it reaches its full stroke.
BDeceleration on a Slope
To avoid personal injury or death:
A Going up or down a slope diagonally is
dangerous as the machine may skid. Always
drive or operate straight up or down a slope, or
the machine may slip side ways and tip over.
A Use foot brake together with engine brake if the
machine tends to over-run when descending a
slope.
To avoid personal injury or death:
A When descending down along slope, use
engine brake. Using the foot brake alone
accelerates brake pad wear and cause heat
buildup and will result in poor brake
performance.
