3.9 STEERING MACHINE
Before operating the travel lever or travel pedal, check the direction that the track frame is
facing. When the track frame is facing the rear (when the sprocket is at the front), the direction
of operation of the travel lever and travel pedal is the opposite to the direction of movement of
the machine (forward/reverse, left/right).
Use the travel levers (1) to change direction.
Avoid sudden changes of direction as much as possible.
Especially when performing counter-rotation (spin turn), stop the
machine before turning.
Operate two travel levers (1) as follows.
[1] STEERING THE MACHINE WHEN STOPPING
When turning to the left.
Push the right travel lever forward to turn to the left when traveling
forward; and pull it back to turn left when traveling in reverse.
(A): Forward left turn
(B): Reverse left turn
NOTES
When turning to the right, operate the left travel lever in the same
way.
[2] CHANGING DIRECTION OF THE MACHINE
When turning to the left.
If the left travel lever is returned to the NEUTRAL position, the
machine will turn to the left.
(A): Forward left turn
(B): Reverse left turn
NOTES
When turning to the right, operate the right travel lever in the
same way.
