Case WX145 Operator's Manual page 126

The machine is in its basic position when the cab (1)
is over the left pair of wheels of the steering axle (2).
A = travelling forwards: the wheels of the steered
axle are in front.
B = travelling backwards: the wheels of the rigid
axle are in front.
Only in the basic position are the travel direction
selected and the true travel direction the same.

WARNING
If the upper structure is slewed more than 90° out of
basic position, the machine moves in the opposite
direction of the one selected.
Example:
The upper structure (3) is turned by more than 90°
out of its basic position.
The operator looks through the front window and
wants to move in this direction.
He depresses the travel pedal. The machine, how-
ever, does not travel in direction B but in direction A.
The operator wants to travel "forward", he is actually
travelling in "reverse".
Because of this:
If the position of the upper structure (3) in relation to
the undercarriage (4) is not exactly known, look out
of the windows to check the direction of the upper
structure (3) with respect to the undercarriage (4).
If this is not possible, depress first the travel pedal
slightly.
In this way you can determine the machine travel
direction.
Depress the travelling pedal fully only after the
actual travelling direction is perfectly clear.
