CONTROLS
Motion Control Levers
The machineOs speed and direction are
continuously variable using the two motion
control levers. The motion control levers can
be moved forward or backward from a neutral
position. Furthermore, there is a neutral
position, which is locked if the motion control
levers are moved outward into the neutral
slots.
When both controls are in the neutral position
(N), the machine stands still.
The motion control levers on each side of the BAM-6
mower control the direction of movement. The Motion Control Levers
left lever controls the �ow of oil from the left
hydro pump to the left wheel motor. The right
lever controls the �ow of oil from the right
hydro pump to the right wheel motor.
NOTE: To begin motion, the operator must be
in the seat and the parking brake disengaged

before the motion control levers can be
moved from the neutral slots or the engine
will shut down.
By moving the levers an equal amount
forward or back the machine will move in a
straight line in that direction.23
Movement of either lever forward will cause
the right or left wheel to rotate in a forward
direction. To stop movement pull both levers 4
into the neutral position.
