Front Wheel Steer Mode

Front Wheel Steer Mode

Front Wheel Steer mode, also known as “2-Wheel
Steer” mode, allows the operator to steer the vehicle in
a conventional manner. The front wheels of the vehicle
steer and the rear wheels remain in position.

Use this mode when traveling on flat surfaces at higher
speeds. Front Wheel Steer mode should not be used in
confined and congested areas.

Important:

Synchronize (straighten and align) the
wheels before engaging Front Wheel
Steer mode.

Round Steer Mode

Round Steer Mode

Round Steer mode, also known as “4-Wheel Steer”
mode, allows the front and rear wheels to steer in
opposite directions.

Use Round Steer when tight turning is required. This
mode is very useful on job sites.

Oblique Steer Mode

Oblique Steer Mode

Oblique Steer mode, also known as “Crab Steer” mode,
enables steering of the front and rear wheels in the
same direction.

It is generally used to angle the vehicle in tight areas.
Oblique Steer mode moves the vehicle to the side while
moving forward or reverse.

1. Select ROUND steer mode.

Step 2

2. Turn the steering wheel to the right until it

reaches the stop.
