The machine’s speed and direction are

continuously variable using the two steering 
controls. When both controls are in the neutral 
position, the machine stands still.  
By moving both controls an equal amount forward 
or backward, the machine moves in a straight line 
forward or backward respectively.  
In order, for example, to turn right while moving 
forward, move the right control towards the neutral 
position. The rotation of the right wheel is reduced 
and the machine turns to the right.  
Turning on the spot (zero turn) can be achieved 
by moving one control backward (behind the 
neutral position) and carefully moving the other 
steering control forward from its neutral position.
