By moving the levers an equal amount forward
or back the machine will move in a straight line
in that direction. FIG - 10

Movement of either lever forward will cause the
right or left wheel to rotate in a forward direction.
To stop movement pull both levers into the
neutral position.

To turn right while moving in a forward direction
pull the right lever back towards the neutral
position, this will slow the rotation of the right
wheel and cause the machine to turn in that
direction.

To turn left while moving in a forward direction
pull the left lever back towards the neutral
position, this will slow the rotation of the left
wheel and cause the machine to turn in that
direction.

To zero turn pull one lever back beyond neutral
while holding the other slightly ahead of neutral.
NOTE: The direction of the zero turn will be
determined by which lever is pulled back beyond
neutral. Thus left lever back, left zero turn and
opposite for right zero turn. 

Use extra care

when using this maneuver the machine can
spin very rapidly if one lever is positioned
to far ahead of the other.
