Method For Steering Machine - Komatsu D37EX-24 Operation & Maintenance Manual

OPERATION
2.
Set joystick (steering, directional and gear shift lever) (2) to
a desired position.
Position (F): FORWARD
Position (N): NEUTRAL
Position (R): REVERSE
Check that the backup alarm sounds when the joystick
(steering, directional and gear shift lever) is set to RE-
VERSE.
If the alarm does not sound, ask your Komatsu distributor
for repair.
3.
Release decelerator/brake pedal (1) and raise the engine
speed.
REMARK
When moving off, the machine sometimes deviates a little,
but this is due to actuation of straight-travel correction
mechanism and it is not a failure.

METHOD FOR STEERING MACHINE

• Avoid turning on a slope whenever possible, since sideways slip occurs easily.
Take care particularly on soft ground or clay land.
• Do not make a pivot turn at a high speed.
METHOD FOR NORMAL TURNING OPERATION
During travel, tilt joystick (steering, directional and gear shift
lever) (1) in a direction you want to turn.
The machine turns in a direction in which joystick (steering, di-
rectional and gear shift lever) (1) is tilted.
