18. Steer Select
When equipped with four wheel steering, the action of the
steering system is operator selectable. The center switch
position gives conventional front wheel steering with the
rear wheels unaffected. This is for normal driving at maxi-
mum speeds. The forward position is for “crab” steering.
When in this mode both front and rear axles steer in the
same direction, which allows the chassis to move sideways
as it goes forward. This can be used for positioning the
machine in aisle ways or against buildings. The back switch
position is for “coordinated” steering. In this mode the front
and rear axles steer in the opposite directions to produce the
tightest turning circle for maneuvering in confined areas. ONLY USE THE PLATFORM LEVELING OVERRIDE FUNCTION FOR SLIGHT LEVELING OF
THE PLATFORM. INCORRECT USE COULD CAUSE THE LOAD/OCCUPANTS TO SHIFT OR
FALL. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
19. Platform Leveling Override
A three position switch allows the operator to adjust the
automatic self leveling system. This switch is used to adjust
platform level in situations such as ascending/descending a
grade.
20. Horn
If pressed, this switch supplies power to the horn.
