Operating the Gyroscopic Steering Assist

The machine is equipped with a gyroscopic steering assist system. When
activated, the steering assist helps the operator maintain forward and reverse
headings by reducing nuisance machine rotation due to variations in the concrete
surface. The effect of the steering assist will benefit the operator with smoother
steering and fewer corrections when both joysticks are being used to direct
machine movement forward or rearward. The steering assist system does not
apply to side to side motion of the machine, nor is it an auto-pilot system.
The gyroscopic steering assist is activated by the switch (hh) next to the key
switch. An indicator lamp in the switch illuminates when the steering assist is
active.
CAUTION
Possible loss of machine control. The steering assist aids in maintaining a straight
heading only and does not steer the machine.
