STEERING
The basic method of steering the motor grader is through the front steering wheels. The turning radius can be reduced
by using the front wheel lean and articulation functions.
Whenever negotiating a sharp turn, reduce the speed before entering the turn.
Front Wheel Lean
IMPORTANT:
Front axle has a lock pin, 1, that must be
removed manually before tilting (leaning) wheels. Do not operate
machine with wheel lean lock pin installed.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE WHEEL LEAN WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS.
The wheels may by leaned into a turn to decrease the radius and create a more aggressive bite, particularly on soft or
slippery surfaces. After the turn is complete, straighten the wheels before resuming normal speed.
When crossing a steep incline tilt the wheels into the incline to increase traction.
CAUTION:
KNOW THE LIMITS OF THE MACHINE. DRIVING ACROSS SLOPES CAN CAUSE
ROLLOVER.
When making heavy cuts or moving heavy loads that tend to push the machine to the side, the wheels can be leaned
into the load to counteract the pushing effect. Lean wheels in the direction of the discharge.
To tilt wheels to the left move the wheel lean control lever, 1,
forward. To tilt wheels to the right move control lever rearward.
