Supervised Driver’s Training
Before beginning training:
.
At each point where the trainee is to learn a new phase of driving
the machine, the trainee MUST be provided adequate practice time
and demonstrate the ability to satisfactorily control the machine
while starting, stopping, turning, getting on and off, along with per-
forming any other task described in that specific phase of the train-
ing before proceeding to the next phase.
Machine Safety Devices and controls.
Driver’s Training and Operation
Locate, identify, and explain the function of the following (refer to
FIGURE 5 For location):
• Machine Safety Labels: Safety Device = (SD). A complete
listing is found in the Safety Manual section.
A. Engine Kill Switch (SD) turns the engine off and permits it to
be started. It is part of the Neutral Safety Switch System to
prevent the Triumph from starting in Gear.
B. Front Brake Lever (SD) controls the front service brake on the
Transaxle. Pulling the lever activates the Front Brake. The
Front Brake Lever can be locked in the pulled position by push-
ing the lock button on the lever with your finger. In the locked
position the Front Brake is one half of the Parking Brake System
of the machine. The Lock is automatically released by pulling
the lever again. A Spring controls the amount of force applied to
the Front brake.
C. Throttle Lever (SD) is part of the Throttle/Clutch/Operator Pres-
ence Control (OPC) System for the machine. The Lever con-
trols engine speed. The engine speed increases as the lever is
pulled and the Centrifugal Clutch automatically engages sending
power to the Transaxle though a belt and pulley system. Re-
leasing the Throttle Lever decreases engine speed and disen-
gages power to the Transaxle.
D. SmartSteer Brake Assist Steering System (SD) helps the
operator control a fully loaded machine.
E. LOW Gear Selector Valve selects either the Low Gear Broad-
cast or Trim nozzle for spraying during Low Gear Operation.
Point valve handle left to enable Broadcast spraying, right to
enable Trim spraying, or forward to turn Nozzles off.
F. HIGH Gear Spray Selector Valve selects either the High Gear
Broadcast or Trim Nozzle for spraying during High Gear Opera-
tion. It operates similarly to the Low Gear Spray Selector Valve.
G. Drop Handle Lever (SD) unlatches the Handlebars permitting
them to drop down for the convenience of the operator and to
permit the machine to used as a walk-behind unit. The Handle-
bars automatically lock in the down position. Pushing the Lever
rearward with the thumb unlatches the Handlebars.
H. The Spray Lever opens a valve when spraying is desired. Like
the Brake Levers it has a lock to permit continuous spraying.
Additional details about the spray controls will be provided in the
Sprayer Operator section of this manual.
I. Rear Brake Lever (SD) controls the rear service brakes. It
operates similarly to the Front Brake Lever and is one half of the
Parking Brake System.
J. Third-Hole Lever opens and closes the pattern adjustment
Slide Plate below the spreader’s Third-Hole (left hole looking
from the Operator’s position). It is to be closed whenever the
Deflector is lowered to reduce the amount of granular product
distributed to the right side of the machine. It also functions in
the partially closed position to balance the spreader pattern.
Pulling the lever rearwards closes the Third-Hole. A gray Mem-
ory Lock adjusts the partially open setting.
K. The Hopper Lever opens and closes the Hopper to control the
release of granular product. Additional details about spreading
controls will be provided in the Spreader section of this manual.
L. The Deflector Lever raises and lowers the spreader Deflector
to prevent granular material from being spread to the right side
of the machine while trimming. Moving the Lever rearwards
lowers the Deflector.
