CAUTION
• If the steering wheel has been turned fully to the right or left, do not continue to apply force to turn
it further.
The oil temperature inside the steering hydraulic circuit will rise and cause overheating.
• When the steering nears the end of the turn on the right or left, turn the steering wheel more slowly.
Turning the steering wheel suddenly to the end of the turn will cause damage to the machine.
When the machine is traveling, turn the steering wheel (1) to
the desired direction.
The machine turns.
On roads where there are curves, let the accelerator pedal
back before coming to the curve, shift down to the lowest
speed range possible then depress the accelerator pedal again
to continue driving.
Do not coast at high speed on a curved road.
REMARK
• The angle of the steering wheel may change (the position
of the spoke may change slightly) when the machine is
traveling, but this is not a failure.
• If force is applied to the steering wheel when the tires have
been turned fully to the right or left, the steering wheel will
turn a little at a time, but this is not a failure.
