EMERGENCY STEERING

This machine is equipped with an emergency steering system
and complies to ISO 5010. In the advent of failure of the source of
power for the steering system (engine failure) whilst travelling the
machine can be steered allowing the machine to be safely
stopped.
In such a case the effort required at the steering wheel and the
number of turns to steer the machine will increase. To confirm
function of emergency steering system raise the front wheels off
the ground (using the work equipment) and with the engine off,
turn the steering wheel and check movement of the wheels.
