yellow light on the platform control console indicates that the
boom is swung beyond the rear drive tires and the machine may
Drive/Steer in the opposite direction from the movement of the
controls. If the indicator is illuminated, operate the Drive function
in the following manner:

white direction arrows

trol console and the

ride switch. Within 3 seconds, slowly move the
Drive control toward the arrow matching the
intended direction of machine travel. The indi-
cator light will flash during the 3 second inter-
