12. OPERATION
12.6 CHANGING DIRECTION
‡ When changing direction between FORWARD and REVERSE,
check that the new direction of travel is safe. There is a blind
spot behind the machine, so be particularly careful when
changing direction to travel in reverse.
‡ Do not switch between FORWARD and REVERSE when
traveling at high speed.
When switching between FORWARD and REVERSE, depress
the brake to reduce the travel speed sufficiently, then change
the direction of travel. (Max. speed for changing direction:
12 km/h (7.5 MPH))
There is no need to stop the machine even when switching
between FORWARD and REVERSE.
Place directional lever 1 in the desired position.
REMARK
If the gear shift lever is operated slowly or it is stopped between
speed ranges, error code "CALL" may be displayed.
This is not a failure: the gear shift lever must be operated to complete
the gear shifting within 2 seconds.
12.7 TURNING
‡ It is dangerous to turn the machine suddenly at high speed,
or to turn on steep hills.
‡ If the engine stops when the machine is traveling, the emer-
gency steering is actuated. However, the emergency steering
only works while the machine is traveling, so if the machine
stops, the emergency steering can no longer be used.
This is particularly dangerous on hills, so never stop the
engine when the machine is traveling.
If the engine stops, stop the machine immediately at a safe
place.
When traveling, use steering wheel 1 to turn the machine.
With this machine, the front frame is joined to the rear frame at
the center of the machine by the center pin. The front and rear
frames bend at this point, and the rear wheels follow in the same
track as the front wheels when turning.
Turn the steering wheel lightly to follow the machine as it turns.
When turning the steering wheel fully, do not turn it beyond the end
of the stroke.
