WARNING •
Levers and controls should return to neutral position when released.

Be sure the levers and controls are in the neutral (middle) position before starting the engine.
•
Operate controls gradually and smoothly. Excessive speed and quick control movements without regard for conditions and circumstances are hazardous and could cause an accident. Figure 3-11 Travel Controls
WARNING
Spin Turn Move the levers in opposite directions to spin the machine on its axis. To spin turn left, move the right control lever forward while pulling the left control lever to the rear; to spin turn right, move the left control lever forward while pulling the right control lever to the rear. See Figure 3-11.
Be sure that the dozer blade is “in front.” When the operator’s cab is facing forward, the blade will be visible and travel controls will operate as expected. If the dozer blade is not visible, the operator’s cab is facing to the rear, and the travel controls will operate in reverse. Forward Travel Push both travel control levers or pedals forward. The farther these are moved, the faster the machine will travel. See Figure 3-11. Reverse Travel Pull both travel control levers or pedals back. The farther these are moved, the faster the machine will travel. See Figure 3-11. Turning During Travel Move one control lever or pedal farther than the other one. To turn left while moving forward, move the right control lever farther forward; to turn right while moving forward, move the left control lever farther forward. See Figure 3-11.
