Conventional steering
The power steering system provides low effort
steering under normal conditions and greater
control in the event of a blowout or soft ground.
“Road feel” is similar to that of a conventional
manual steering system.
STEERING SYSTEM
Use of power steering while carrier is
stopped causes unnecessary stress on
system components and can cause
serious damage to system.
Holding steering wheel in full left turn or
full right turn position will cause system to
overheat. This can cause steering pump to
fail.
Remote control steering
Your unit is equipped with a steering pedal in the
upperstructure cab. Upperstructure engine must be
running to provide power for remote control steering.
Regardless of upperstructure position on carrier,
depressing left side of pedal turns wheels to left;
depressing right side of pedal turns wheels to right.
When not held in a left or right steering position, the
steering pedal will return automatically to its neutral
(non-steering) position. Be sure upperstructure cab is
kept free of equipment and foreign material which
could jam steering pedal in a steering position.
Rotation of steering wheel will occur during remote
operation. KEEP CLEAR!
C A U T I O N
Be alert for any increase in effort needed to
steer. If any difference is noted, notify
maintenance personnel immediately for
correction. If power assist feature should
fail for any reason IT WOULD BECOME
VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. For this
reason it is extremely important that you
NEVER TURN ENGINE OFF WHILE
TRAVELING.
In the event power steering fails, stop as
soon as possible. Do not drive unit until
problem has been corrected.
