The hydraulic motor is equipped with an automatic system which controls the displacement: if you select
Rabbit mode from the switch and the pressure of the closed circuit of the hydrostatic transmission overtakes
a certain value (fixed by the manufacturer), the hydraulic motor automatically switches to Turtle mode, to
increase the torque; when the pressure comes back to a lower value, the motor goes again into Rabbit mode.
If you select Turtle mode from the switch, the system always stays in Turtle mode.

Steering modes
Three steering modes can be selected by the driver through the switch on the steering column:
A)
2 wheels steer: only the two front wheels are steering
B)
4 wheels steer: all the wheels are steering in counter phase (work on field)
C)
crab: all the wheels are steering in phase (lateral shift of the machine)
Change the steering mode only when the machine is stopped.
Before selecting the two front wheels steer mode, make sure that the back axle wheels are
aligned (straight): the L23 light on dashboard (bottom light) must be on:
L22
Front axle wheels straight
L23
Back axle wheels straight
Steer until L23 turns on, then change to 2-wheels-steer mode.
