MLC165-1 OPERATOR MANUAL OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
NOTE The following directions of travel are with the front
of the upperworks (boom end) over the front of
the lowerworks (front roller ends of crawlers).
If the front of the upperworks and the front of the
lowerworks face in opposite directions, the crane
will travel in the direction opposite of handle
movement.
13. To TRAVEL STRAIGHT (Figure 3-14
), move both
crawler handles the same amount in the desired
direction from the center position.
14. To make a SHARP LEFT TURN (Figure 3-15
), move the
right crawler handle to the front from the center position
and leave the left crawler handle in the center position.
The crane will pivot about the left crawler.
15. To make a SHARP RIGHT TURN, reverse the previous
step.
16. To make a GRADUAL LEFT TURN (Figure 3-16
), move
both crawler handles to the front from the center
position. Move the right crawler control handle farther
than the left crawler control handle. The right crawler will
turn faster than the left crawler.
17. To make a GRADUAL RIGHT TURN, reverse the
previous step.
18. To COUNTER ROTATE LEFT (Figure 3-17
), move the
right crawler handle to the front from the center position.
Move the left crawler handle to the rear from the center
position.
