3.4Working with the machine

3.4.1The travel movements

Straight travel

1 Idler wheel 5a / 5b Pedal for travel left

2 Sprocket wheel 6a / 6b Pedal for travel right

As a basic rule, when travelling, the upper carriage must be rotated to the under carriage in such a way that when travelling forwards, the idler wheel 1 is in front and the sprocket wheel 2 is at the rear.

Danger

If the uppercarriage us turned by 180°, note that all travelling directions (right and left, forward and backward) are reversed when you push the pedals!

Travel forwards:

Push both pedals forward at the same time (5a and 6a).

Travel backwards:

Caution!

Before travelling in reverse, ensure that the area behind you is clear and nobody is in your way.

Push both pedals down at the same time (5b and 6b).

Counter rotation with both tracks

Counter rotating left (A):

Push the left pedal down (5b).

Push the right pedal forwards at the same time (6a).

Counter rotating right (B): Push the right pedal down (6b). Push the left pedal forwards at the same time (5a).

Turning over one track

Turning ahead to the left (A): Push the right pedal forwards (6a).

Turning ahead to the right (B): Push the left pedal forwards (5a).

Note!

If possible, avoid turning over one track, and especially turning over one track backwards in order to preserve the track components from unnecessary strains.
