OPERATION
METHOD FOR TURNING THE MACHINE WHILE TRAVELING FORWARD
When gradually turning to the left, tilt the joystick (steering, di-
rectional and gear shift lever) forward and tilt it to left (L) half-
way.
REMARK
When gradually turning to the right, tilt the joystick (steering, di-
rectional and gear shift lever) forward and tilt it to right (R) half-
way.
Operate similarly during reverse travel.
METHOD FOR COUNTER-ROTATION TURN
NOTICE
• Before performing a counter-rotation turn, check the safety around the machine.
• When performing a counter-rotation turn, if the load is not equal on the left and right sides, the ma-
chine may perform a pivot turn, so check the ground conditions and be careful not to hit any obsta-
cles.
When performing counter-rotation turn to the left, set joystick
(steering, directional and gear shift lever) in neutral position
(N), and tilt it to the left (L) halfway.
The R.H. and L.H. tracks rotate in the opposite directions to
each other to make a slow counter-rotation turn to the left.
If the lever is tilted fully, the counter-rotation turn speed in-
creases.
REMARK
When performing counter-rotation turn to the right, set joystick
(steering, directional and gear shift lever) in neutral position
(N), and tilt it to the right (R).
