Counterrotation turn
When carrying out a counterrotation turn, if the load is not equal on the left and right sides, the
machine may carry out a pivot turn, so check the ground coditions and be careful not to hit any obsta-
cles.
If the steering and directional lever is not operated fully to the forward or reverse position and the
lever is operated to turn the machine, the machine may carry out a counterrotation turn, so do not try
to turn the machine with the lever partially operated.
If the steering and directional lever is operated partially in the
direction of turn with the lever at the N (Neutral) position, the
left and right tracks will rotate in opposite directions and the
machine will turn smoothly on the spot. If the steering lever is
operated fully, the speed of the counterrotation turn will
increase.
BRAKE PEDAL
Do not place your foot on this pedal unnecessarily.
If this pedal (5) is depressed, the left and right brakes are
applied simultaneously.
