2 Throttle
Located on the right side of the handlebars.
The throttle is used to control power output.
The throttle is a motorcycle style rotating throttle. By rotating the throttle towards you will increase speed for
zero at the resting point. The more you twist the throttle the greater the power output level and faster the
speed. When you find your comfortable speed simply hold the throttle open at that point.
Tip
The throttle is electrically controlled, and has very little back pressure therefore required only gentle twisting
to operate. The throttle has a twist radios of approximately 1 inch or a quarter revolution. Over twisting or
aggressive use could damage the throttle system. Try it a few times while stationary to get the feeling of its
operation.
3 Handlebar Connection
Located on the top of the steering tube, above the frame.
Removable handlebar gooseneck clamp
All Turf Chopper products are made with removable handlebars for transporting and storage.
After you set the handlebars in the slotted receptacle (on the top of the steering tube) you will need to
tighten the gooseneck clamp before you can safely operate your Turf Chopper.
Simply hand tighten the clamp and fold in the locking handle. If the handle is sticking out loosen the clamp
and try again.
This must always be tight when operating the unit.
Do not use excessive force on this clamp.
4 Steering Bolt
Located on the front of the steering tube
The Steering Bolt limits the turning range when in use. It is used only when changing modes.
By loosening this hand bolt, you will be able to rotate the handlebars 180
degrees so that the throttle and controls are in the same operating position
when in both walking and riding modes.
Make sure to tighten the bolt snug after you have completed your mode
changes. It is good practise to check this bolt often.

The Seat Mount Connection consists of 2 parts; the holder and the mounting post.

the seat mount holder from the mounting posts which are permanently fixed to the frame
Placing your bag in position
Put the clubs in first spreading them past the handlebar as you like and place the bottom of your bag in the
holder located on the main body panel.
Then replace the seat to the operational position.
Always make sure to check that both sides are firmly connected before operating.
