STEERING AT CONSOLE
Your new Ranger Aluminum model may be equipped with no feed back steering. This is mechanical steering
that is designed to help reduce engine torque, felt at the wheel, to a minimum. However, a firm grip on the steering
wheel is required at all times.
You should familiarize yourself with the feel of the steering at various speeds and trim settings.
NEVER
exceed
speeds beyond your comfort level.
