3.3.5 STEERING THE MACHINE
3.3.5.1 STEERING
WARNING
• Before operating the travel control levers, check the direction of the track frame (i.e. position of the
sprocket) first. If the sprocket is at the front, the machine moves in the reverse direction to the operation
of the travel lever.
NOTE
• When traveling at high speed, if the load increases, the automatic travel speed shifting function automatically
shifts the transmission to low speed and the machine travels slowly. When the load decreases, it automatically
returns the transmission to high speed travel.
Use the travel levers to change direction.
Avoid sudden changes of direction as far as possible. In partic-
ular, when carrying out counter-rotation (spin turn), stop the
machine first before turning.
Operate two travel levers (1) as follows.
STEERING THE MACHINE WHEN STOPPED
When turning to the left:
Push the right travel lever forward to travel left when traveling
forward; and pull it back to turn left when traveling in reverse.
NOTE
• When turning to the right, operate the left travel lever in the
same way.
