12. OPERATION 12.7.2 TURNING WHILE DESCENDING A SLOPE WARNING On steep downhill slopes where the machine may travel under its own weight, or on downhill slopes where it is being pushed by a towed machine, the machine will steer in the opposite direction, so do as follows. Avoid as much as possible turning the machine on a slope. The machine will tend to slip sideways. Particular care should be taken on soft or clay land. Turning gradually to left while traveling forward If the joystick is pushed forward and moved partially to the right (R), the machine turns gradually to the left.
(Becomes reverse steering) REMARK When turning gradually to the right, push the joystick forward, and move it partially to the left. (Becomes reverse steering) Do the same when traveling in reverse. Making sharp turns to left while traveling forward If the joystick is pushed forward and moved fully to the left (L), the machine turns sharply to the left. (Does not become reverse steering) REMARK When making sharp turns to the right, push the joystick forward, and move it fully to the right. (Does not become reverse steering) Do the same when traveling in reverse. 2-59
