3.3.6 Movement in Curves
To allow the machine to turn one must release the lever on the side to
which one intends to turn:
•
To turn to the right, release the right-hand drive lever;
•
To turn to the left, release the left-hand drive lever.
The steering is determined by the slowing of the speed of one track with respect to
the other. Consequently the speed and the degree of steering are prop. to the
intensity of the release and to the pressure with which you apply to each lever.
3.3.7 Counter-rotation
It is also possible to make the machine spin round, carrying out a complete
“counter - rotation” around its axis, in order to carry out manoeuvres in small spaces.

To make a clockwise counter-
rotation (towards the direction of
the clock hands) you must push
the left-hand lever forward and
pull the right-hand lever back;


To make a counter-clockwise
counter-rotation (towards the op-
posite direction of clock hands) you
must push the right-hand lever
forward and pull the left-hand lev- er
back.

Using the counter-rotation manoeuvre often reduces the duration of the rubber tracks,
especially if you do it upon rough surfaces.
