STEERING MODE (29)
The machine is fitted with a system which allows the operator to select one of three steering modes:
A) Steering with corrected turn angle
Use this mode to obtain a narrower steering angle.
B) Front axle steering
Use this mode when executing transfers on public roads.
C) Crab steering
Use this mode to move the machine laterally without losing the longitudinal alignment.
The desired steering mode must be selected while the machine is standing still, with all wheels aligned to the chassis. In order
to correct a misalignement between the front wheels and the rear wheels, bring the steering wheel to its end stop on one side
for a few seconds, then repeat on the other side.
WARNING! Such correction can only be carried out when in "corrected turn angle" or "crab" mode, even if the
misalignment occurred while using the front axle steering mode.
WINDSCREEN WIPERS AND WINDSHIELD WASHER (34), (7)
FRONT WINDSCREEN WIPER & WASHER SWITCH (34)
Two-positions switch: the first tripping operates the front windscreen wiper, the
second operates the front and the rear windshield washer.
REAR WINDSCREEN WIPER (7)
Press button (7) to engage the rear windscreen wiper.
HAND ACCELERATOR (86)
This lever (86) permits the manual regulation of the diesel engine rpm.
By operating the pedal it is however always possible to reach the maximum rpm;
on pedal release the engine returns to the set rpm.
WARNING!
