This machine is equipped with a Drive Orientation Indicator.
The yellow light on the platform control console indicates
that the boom is swung beyond the rear drive tires and the
machine may Drive/Steer in the opposite direction from the
movement of the controls. If the indicator is illuminated,
operate the Drive function in the following manner:
1. Match the black and white direction arrows on both plat-
form control panel and the chassis to determine the
direction the machine will travel.
2. Push and release the Drive Orientation Override switch.
Within 3 seconds, slowly move the Drive control toward
the arrow matching the intended direction of machine
travel. The indicator light will flash during the 3 second
interval until the drive function is selected.
