Drive Paddle (5) – Located on top at the rear of the machine, the operator can make the machine go forward by pushing forward on it, or reverse by pulling
backward on it. The speed is variable depending on how far forward or backward the padel is moved. When the brush head is in the "DOWN" position, the
brushes and solution will operate when the drive is engaged in either direction, but will stop after the machine is stationary for 1 second.
