To operate a bobcat, first start the engine and throttle it to get it moving and lock the lap bar into place. To operate you have to push both levers away from you to move forward and pull the levers toward you to move the bobcat backwards. Turning you would pull one lever back and the other forward, depending on which way you want to turn. Release both of the levers to stop. The pedals by your
. feet control the bucket. One pedal controls the up and down and the other is used to scoop the debris. http://www.ehow.com/how_2100037_operate-bobcat.html
