In sideward (90°) travel mode, the rear swivel arm is fixed and the truck is

The angle of the steering column is adjustable to increase driver comfort.

Adjusting The Steering Column Angle
Each operator should adjust the angle
of the steering column so that they can
comfortably reach the steering wheel
when sitting in the seat with their back
against the backrest.
The seat and steering column should
be adjusted simultaneously to achieve
the optimum driving position. See
