release the START switch (10) then wait 60
seconds before trying to start the engine again

Y Driving
1. The engine should be running. If not, start it
from the platform-control box as described
above.
2. Set the SPEED switch (1) to turtle (slow) if you
are going to be driving close to other objects or
need to move the SR very slowly for other
reasons.
NOTE: Setting the SPEED to rabbit doubles
the travel speed. (See the
“SPECIFICATIONS” chapter for speeds of
different models.)
3. Set the LIFT/DRIVE SELECTOR switch (2) to
drive (right).
C A U TIO N
The SR is about to move. If you have to make an
emergency stop, release the JOYSTICK
CONTROLLER (3) and sharply strike the
EMERGENCY STOP switch (4) straight in.
To make a normal stop, slowly move the
JOYSTICK CONTROLLER (3) to its “centered”
neutral position then release it.
4. Squeeze and hold the SAFETY CONTROL (5)
against the JOYSTICK CONTROLLER (3).
5. Push the JOYSTICK CONTROLLER (3)
slowly forward or pull it slowly backward,
depending on which way you want to go. The
further you move the joystick the faster the SR
moves.
6. To make a right or left turn, press and hold the
STEERING rocker-switch (6) on top of the
JOYSTICK CONTROLLER (3).
NOTE: When you release the STEERING
rocker-switch (6) the steering wheels remain
pointed in the direction you left them. They do
not return to “straight ahead” the way
automobile wheels do. You will have to press
the opposite side of the STEERING rocker-
switch (6) to return to straight line travel. In
tight spots you should stop the SR, turn the
wheels the direction you want to go, then,
after you have “aimed” the steering wheels,
squeeze the SAFETY CONTROL (5) and
move the JOYSTICK CONTROLLER (3)
slowly forward or backward.
