TURNING WHILE DESCENDING A SLOPE
This machine (which can turn by counterrotation) does not cross-steer even when it descends a steep slope where
it is driven down by its own weight or when it is pushed down by a towed machine on a slope. Accordingly,
descend a slope as explained below.
NOTICE
Do not use the counterrotation turn on slopes.
The load on the left and right sides will not be uniform, and the machine may turn sharply to one side.
REMARK
Cross steering means the phenomenon that the machine turns in the opposite direction to the actual steering
direction.
WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT GRADUALLY WHILE TRAVELING FORWARD
If the steering, directional and gear shift lever (1) is pushed for-
ward and moved partially to the left (L), the machine turns
gradually to the left. (Does not become reverse steering)
REMARK
When making gradual turns to the right, push the steering,
directional and gear shift lever (1) forward, and move it partially
to the right. (Does not become reverse steering)
Do the same when traveling in reverse.
