make a pivot turn, so check the ground conditions and be careful not to hit any obstacles when carrying
out the operation.

partially in the direction of turn. The left and right tracks will
rotate in opposite directions, and the machine will make a slow
counterrotation turn. If the lever is operated further, the speed
of the counterrotation turn will increase.
