OPERATION
SLOPE OPERATION
WARNING
DO NOT operate the machine on slopes exceeding
60 percent (30°) in the travel direction or across
slopes exceeding 45 percent (24°).
Depending on the load carried in the bed, it may be pref-
erable to back up steep slopes.
If traversing over large obstructions such as railroad rail
or curbs, travel at an angle (45 degrees) to the obstruc-
tion. In some cases it may be easier to back over them.
Avoid turning on slopes. If you must turn, turn slowly
downhill, if possible.
DO NOT operate the machine near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments. The machine could suddenly turn over if
a track goes over the edge or if an edge collapses.
DO NOT try to stabilize the machine if it is tipping over.
Let go of the machine and get out of its way.
TRAVELING FORWARD OR REVERSE
Track Steering Controls
To travel forward, reverse, turn left, or turn right, do the
following:
ADJUSTING THROTTLE FOR
VARIOUS TYPES OF WORK
WARNING
When rst learning to operate the Track Horse,
position the throttle to the SLOW position. More
experienced operators may use higher throttle
settings.
FORWARD TRAVEL
The throttle can be positioned anywhere between slow
and fast for traveling forward depending on the weight of
the load being carried. Heavy loads will require higher
throttle settings and low range in order for the engine to
provide enough power to move the load.
A switch mounted below the throttle control provides
two-speed (FAST & SLOW) operation.
REVERSE TRAVEL
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to travel in reverse with the throttle
positioned above SLOW. This may result in loss of
control and result in injury or death to the operator.
Always position the throttle to a slow position for reverse
travel to permit increased control and safety.
Always switch the two-speed control to LOW speed op-
eration when moving in reverse.
