Joystick Steering (Option)

Joystick steering system allows quick easy steering on one
joystick type lever. The transmission forward and reverse
changeover switch is built into the joystick steering. This
allows the operator to change the direction of the machine
without releasing the joystick steering.
IMPORTANT: The joystick steering lever and switches
are designed to operate with low effort.
Do not press and twist the lever and switches firmly.
Damage to them may result.

Joystick Steering Lever

When joystick steering lever (1) is moved from the neutral
(centered) to the right or left, the machine articulates
(steers) right or left. Refer to page 4-10 for the steering.

Forward/Reverse Switch

Changes the machine drive direction from forward to
reverse and vice versa.
Set forward/reverse switch (2) to the F position to travel
the machine forward.
Set forward/reverse switch (2) to the R position to drive
the machine in reverse.
IMPORTANT: Never attempt to shift forward/reverse
switch (2) while letting the machine travel at high
speed (3 or 4 speed). Failure to do so will cause
engine to have excessively high RPM's, leading to
hazardous situation. Also, it may cause damage to
the transmission.
