CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

STEERING

In addition to the steering wheel, the machine has another steering control, the steering selector switch.

B

The steering selector switch (B) is a three-position switch.

The three positions are: 4-wheel, 2-wheel , and oblique.

Switch positions are selected and function as follows:

4-WHEEL

Handle right of center

 

2-WHEEL

Handle directly centered

ENGINE

 

 

 

BLIN

OBLIQUE (CRAB)

Handle left of center

 

CAUTION

Before changing steering selections, make sure all four wheels are in line. Failure to align the wheels to the proper settings before changing steering positions may cause haphazard steering. This may result in injury to personnel and/or damage to the machine or property.

TRANSMISSION

The transmission control (C) has one lever that controls both directional and speed requirements. It is located on the left side of the steering column.

To shift into Forward gear gently pull the lever toward you and move the lever upward.

To shift into Neutral move the lever to the center position.

To shift into Reverse gear gently pull the lever toward you and move the lever downward.

To shift into a lower speed rotate the lever clockwise.

To shift into a higher speed rotate the lever counter-clockwise.

When shifting the transmission from forward to reverse while the machine is in motion the transmission control (C) must be in 1st or 2nd gear only.
