METHOD FOR TURNING THE MACHINE WHILE TRAVELING FORWARD
When gradually turning to the left, tilt the joystick (steering, di-
rectional and gear shift lever) forward and tilt it to left (L) half-
way.
Any turning radius can be set until the operating effort of joy-
stick (steering, directional and gear shift lever) becomes large.
REMARK
When gradually turning to the right, tilt the joystick (steering, di-
rectional and gear shift lever) forward and tilt it to right halfway.
Operate similarly during reverse travel.

chine may perform a pivot turn, so check the ground conditions and be careful not to hit any obsta-
cles.
