MOVING THE TB100J

The TB100J chassis can only be moved form
the platform-control box. You cannot move the
chassis from the ground-control box.

There is a blue arrow on the DRIVE
FORWARD end of the chassis and a yellow
arrow on the DRIVE REVERSE end of the
chassis. Pushing the DRIVE/STEER controller
to DRIVE FORWARD causes the chassis to
move in the direction of the blue arrow on the
end of the chassis. Pushing the DRIVE/STEER
controller to DRIVE REVERSE causes the
chassis to move in the direction of the yellow
arrow on the opposite end of the chassis.

NOTE: You must be stepping on the foot
switch for the DRIVE/STEER controller to
work.

STEERING

The TB100J can only be steered from the
platform-control box. You cannot steer the
TB100J from the ground-control box.

There are two blue arrows on the STEER LEFT
side of the chassis and two yellow arrows on
the STEER RIGHT side of the chassis. Pushing
the DRIVE/STEER controller to STEER LEFT
causes the front wheels to turn for a left turn.
Pushing the DRIVE/STEER controller to
STEER RIGHT causes the front wheels to turn
for a right turn.

NOTE: You must be stepping on the foot
switch.

NOTE: You cannot steer the wheels while
the brakes are set. This prevents high

stresses from building up in the tires and
steering mechanism. To release the brakes
the DRIVE/STEER controller must be in a
“drive position” -- not in its center, off,
position.

NOTE: When you release the
DRIVE/STEER controller the wheels stay
where you set them. The wheels do not
return to the "straight ahead" position the
way automobile wheels do.
