Operation
Four Wheel Steering (4W)
i
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)
D;
OPTIONAL two wheel rear (2WR) steer-
ing allows the rear wheels to turn in the
same direction as the steering wheel.
The front wheels remain in a fixed for-
ward 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
A
Allow for adequate clearance between
the attachment and other objects
when turning. The attachment
extends beyond the front of the vehi-
cle. 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.
