Operation
Four Wheel Steering (4W)
Four wheel (4W) steering allows the front
wheels to turn in the same direction and the
rear wheels to turn in the opposite direction of
the steering wheel. The rear wheels follow the
front wheel path. Four wheel (4W) steering is useful for a
short turning radius and in muddy or sandy conditions.
Two Wheel Rear Steering (2WR) (Optional)
OPTIONAL two wheel rear (2WR) steering
allows the rear wheels to turn in the same
direction as the steering wheel. The front
wheels remain in a fixed forward position.
Two wheel rear (2WR) steering is useful for a tighter
turning radius.
NOTE: A separate switch is located on the right side of
the dash panel to engage and disengage the optional two
wheel rear (2WR) steering mode.
Maximum Fork Sweep
Warning
Allow for adequate clearance between
the attachment and other objects when
turning. The attachment extends beyond
the front of the forklift. The operator must
be aware of the maximum sweep of any attachment
being used, when turning, to avoid hitting personnel
and other objects in the area to prevent property
damage, injury, or death.
