power steering fails, stop as soon
as possible. Do not drive handler

until problem has been corrected.

STEERING SYSTEM

9.0

WARNING

!

Use only 2-wheel steer when
traveling at high speeds. Never use

4-wheel circle steer at high speeds,

sharp turns could cause machine
roll-over.

• Three modes of steering are provided as standard equipment. A three

position switch on the dashboard allows the operator to select the steering

mode.

• 4-wheel circle steer allows for tight turns and better

maneuverability in close quarters.

• 4-wheel crab steering allows the machine to move

sideways at an angle.

• 2-wheel front steer is used for high speed travel.

• It is imperative that the operator practice maneuvering the handler in a

safe, open area to become thoroughly familiar with steering response and

clearance required for fork swing and load when turning.
