DRIVING THE IRV 2000 WITH THE JOYSTICK
Moving the Joystick forward will drive the IRV 2000 forward. If you push the stick just a
little, you will go slow. If you push it a lot, you will go as fast as the Speed Indicator is
set. If you move the stick a little to the left or right, you will turn in that direction in a
large circle. If you move it a lot, you will turn very short. If you pull back on the stick,
you will go backwards. If you release the Joystick you will stop abruptly. Try to move
the Joystick very smoothly to avoid sudden jerks.
WHEEL POSITIONS
SEE PAGE 8 FOR DIAGRAM
If you continue to press the Speed Selector again and again, you will see an “A” or a “b”
in the Speed Indicator window. These letters are used to raise and lower the tail wheel
“A” or the large center wheels “b”. Move the lever sideways to change the letter. Now if
you push forward or pull back on the Joystick, the wheel will go down or up. Try to
cross obstacles at an angle. You can cross a 5" curb safely if you cross at an angle.
Cross small logs and ditches the same way.
NOTE: If you run the center wheels all the way down and the caster all the way down,
you now have a three-point setup that allows tight turns on hard surfaces as well as on
carpet and throw rugs.
BATTERY LIGHTS
The Joystick controller has six battery lights. They will show how much charge is left in
the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, all six lights will light. As the batteries
loose their charge, the green light will be the first to quit. If both of the green and yellow
lights go out, you have approximately 15 minutes before the machine quits. You can run
the batteries down to the point that the left (red) light will begin to
flash. When that happens, you do not have much time left. The
battery charge life will depend on the load and the terrain. You
should never leave the battery with a low charge. It will damage the
batteries over time.
Battery Lights
If the IRV2000 has a problem, normally the little red light on the I\O begins to flash.
