Operation
2. Front Wheel Steering
(Figure 48)
The front wheels will steer in the direction that the steering wheel is turned.
The rear wheels will remain in a fixed forward position. This steering mode
should be used when loading or unloading the vehicle from a trailer and for
on-highway travel at higher speeds.
Figure 48
3. Crab Steering
(Figure 49)
All wheels will steer in the same direction that the steering wheel is turned.
This steering mode allows the operator to move the vehicle “sideways”
toward the landing point of a load. This is especially useful on a congested
worksite in order to line up at the exact spot in front of the loading location.
Figure 49
WARNING:
NEVER use the Crab Steering Mode when
traveling at high speed. Rapid turning in this mode can cause
tipover. Use only the Front Wheel Steering Mode at higher speeds
and slow the vehicle when turning.
