Steering Selection (4 wheel
drive models only)
For maximum trimming and minimum turf damage the
machine should always be operated in 4 wheel steering.
However, when it is desired to transport the machine on roads
or trails, the machine can be switched into 2 wheel steering.
1. Steering selector switch
Switching from 4 wheel steering to 2
wheel steering
Press the steering selector switch (Figure 15) to the forward
position. If the wheels are not aligned in the forward position,
the green light will flash and the machine will remain in
4 wheel steering until the four tires are directed straight
ahead. The operator should turn the steering wheel slowly to
straighten out the wheels until the green light ceases to flash
and remains ON. When the switch light is solid green, the
machine is in 2 wheel steering.
Note: If the steering wheel is turned too briskly, steering
misalignment may occur.
Switching from 2 wheel steering to 4
wheel steering
Press the steering selector switch (Figure 15) to the rearward
position. If the front wheels are not aligned in the forward
position, the green light will flash and the machine will remain
in 2 wheel steering until the four tires are directed straight
ahead. The operator should turn the steering wheel slowly to
straighten out the wheels until the green light ceases to flash
and remains OFF. If the steering wheel is turned too briskly,
steering misalignment may occur. When the switch light is
continuously OFF, the machine is in 4 wheel steering.
Note: If the steering system is misaligned after repeated
2 wheel steering to 4 wheel steering engagements, refer to
Correcting Steering Misalignment in the Maintenance Section.
