3.5.1.2. Drive Speed Control
The drive speed of the machine is proportionally controlled by the amount of movement made to the joystick.
Note:- When elevated, the drive speed of the machine is automatically reduced.
3.5.1.3. Steering Control
THE WHEELS ARE NOT SELF-CENTRING AND MUST BE ALIGNED BY USING THE
JOYSTICK ROCKER SWITCH.
Steering is achieved by depressing the rocker switch on top of the joystick controller to the left or right, as
required.
3.5.1.4. Travel Speed Control
The travel speed control sets the two speed drive to a low ratio for on-road use or a high ratio to improve
gradeability when traversing a construction site. When set to the high ratio the climb ability of the machine is
increased from 20% to 50%.
Caution:- To avoid mechanical damage, ensure that the machine is stationary before attempting to change the
setting of the travel speed control.
