The secondary steering system is electrically powered which allows you to steer
the machine if the primary steering system stops working. Always maintain the
batteries.

1. Park the machine on a hard, level
surface with enough clearance
around the machine to allow you to
completely steer from side to side.
2. Start the engine.
3. Raise the bucket approximately
500 mm (20 inches) above the
ground.
4. With the machine at low idle and
steering straight ahead, turn the
steering wheel either left or right.
DO NOT TURN THE STEERING
WHEEL TO THE STEERING
STOP. While steering, turn the key
switch to the OFF position to stop
the engine and then immediately
back to the ON position (not the
START position. Release the
steering wheel. The secondary
steering pump/motor should start
running immediately.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT turn the key
switch to the OFF position if the
machine is steered against either the
right hand or left hand steering stop.
The steering wheel may kick back.
NOTE: The secondary steering system
will only function as long as there is
sufficient battery capacity.
5. Steer the machine left and right to
confirm that the secondary steering
pump is working. The secondary
pump/motor should not be run
continuously for more than 20
seconds at a time without a 2
minute cool down.
NOTE: Operating the secondary pump/
motor for long periods of time can
result in very hot conditions and
shortened secondary pump/motor life.
6. Look at the instrument cluster to
verify that the secondary steering
light comes on.
