OPERATION
JOYSTICK (STEERING, DIRECTIONAL AND GEAR SHIFT LEVER) (PCCS LEV-
ER)
Perform forward/reverse switching operation, steering opera-
tion, and counter-rotation turn operation by using the joystick
(steering, directional and gear shift lever).
REMARK
PCCS: Palm command control system
(Electronic steering system)
Forward/reverse switching operation
(A) FORWARD
(N) NEUTRAL
(B) REVERSE
Move to the front to travel forward; move to the rear to travel in
reverse.
Steering operation
(L) Turn LEFT
(N) NEUTRAL
(R) Turn RIGHT
When the lever is tilted halfway in the direction you are turning
while it is tilted in FORWARD or REVERSE, the machine turns.
If the lever is tilted rightward or leftward until operating effort
becomes large, turning radius decreases from the one at loose
turn.
REMARK
• When steering mode is NORMAL mode, if lever is tilted to the position where the operating effort to right or
left becomes large, the machine makes pivot turn. When steering mode is FINE mode, even if lever is tilted
to the position where the operating effort to right or left becomes large, the machine does not make pivot
turn.
Tilt the lever further, and the machine makes pivot turn.
• If the lever is released during steering operation, it returns to (A) or (B), and the machine travels straight.
• If you perform steering operation by supporting your hand
with lever guide (G), performance of steering operation im-
proves.
