forward road travel.
a. Swivel Operator’s seat to cab-forward position as
follows:
1. Place GSL (A) in N-DETENT. Engine can be
running.
IMPORTANT
If GSL is not in N-DETENT, damage to the
GSL cable may result when swivelling
Operator’s station.
2. Pull up on knob (B) and hold to release latch
(C) at base of steering column.
3. Turn steering wheel counter clockwise to pivot
Operator’s station clockwise 180° until pin

ground speed range switch (D) to either H [0 - 16
mph (25.7 km/h)], or L [0 - 11 mph (17.7 km/h)].
e. Slowly push throttle (F) to full forward (operating
speed). CDM should display 2270 - 2330 RPM at

Check again to be sure all bystanders have
cleared the area.
f. Slowly move the GSL (A) forward to desired
speed which will be displayed at (H).
CAUTION
Operate both steering wheel and ground

steering system for use in the field. The Auto-
Steer is available as an option, and can be
installed by an Auto-Steer Dealer. The GSL has
