Steering Wheel - Hitachi ZW 120-6 Operator's Manual

Steering Wheel

d
WARNING:
 Avoid quick steering while driving the machine at
high speeds, while driving on a steep slope, or while
raising the lift arms. Failure to do so may cause the
machine to turn over.
 Never attempt to stop the engine while steering the
machine. If the engine is stopped, steering wheel
(1) will lock and the parking brake will be applied
so that steering will be impossible. Never stop the
engine while traveling the machine.
 Never steer while raising the lift arm high as it is
extremely dangerous and may cause the machine to
turnover.
IMPORTANT: When steering wheel (1) is fully turned, the
front and the rear frames come in contact with the
stoppers so that steering wheel (1) does not rotate
further. If steering wheel (1) is forcibly turned further,
the engine may stall or malfunction of the steering
system may result.
Turn steering wheel (1) toward the direction you intend to
steer the machine during drive operation.
f
NOTE: This machine has an articulated frame. The front and
rear frames are coupled by connection pins (center pins) so
that the rear wheels follow the tracks of the front wheels.
Turn steering wheel (1) slowly so as to follow the motion of
the machine.
