18. Steer Select
The action of the steering system is operator selectable. The
center switch position gives conventional front wheel steer-
ing with the rear wheels unaffected. This is for normal driv-
ing at maximum 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 side-
ways as it goes forward. This can be used for positioning the
machine in aisle ways or close to 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. Axle Extend/Retract
Allows the operator to extend or retract the axles. The axles
can only be extended or retracted while the machine is
being driven forward or reverse.
21. Horn
If pressed, this switch supplies power to the horn.
22. Indicator Panel
The LED Indicator Panel contains indicator lights that signal
problem conditions or functions operating during machine
operation.
