6.2.1
USING THE STEERING WHEEL
The Steering Wheel turns the dual Steer Wheels located at the rear of the tractor just ahead of
the Operator Platform. When turning, the tractor behaves similarly to a forklift with rear wheel
steering. JBT LEKTRO, Inc. recommends using the Steering Knob on the Steering Wheel to
always allow one-handed steering control, even when turning the steering wheel rapidly through
multiple revolutions.
• When driving FORWARD:
> To turn the tractor to the right relative to the direction of travel, rotate the Steering Wheel
counterclockwise. This swings the rear of the tractor to the left to allow the front of the
tractor to change direction to the right.
> To turn the tractor to its left relative to the direction of travel, rotate the Steering Wheel

• When driving in REVERSE:
> To turn the tractor to its right relative to the direction of travel, rotate the Steering Wheel
clockwise. This swings the rear of the tractor to the right and allows the front of the
tractor to follow.
> To turn the tractor to its left relative to the direction of travel, rotate the Steering Wheel
