E: STEERING (CHANGING DIRECTION) Use the travel levers to change direction. Operate the two travel levers (1) as follows. * When the sprocket is at the front, the travel levers turn the machine in the opposite direction, so before operating the travel levers, check the position of the sprocket. * Avoid sudden changes of direction as far as possible. In particular, when carrying out counter-rotation (spin turn), stop the machine first before turning. 1. Changing direction of machine when stopped (a): Turning left when traveling forward (b): Turning left when traveling in reverse When turning to the left:
Push the right travel lever forward to travel left when traveling forward; and pull it back to turn left when traveling in reverse. t When turning to the right, operate the left travel lever in the same way. 2. Steering when traveling (left and right travel levers both operated in same direction (a): Turning left when traveling forward (b): Turning left when traveling in reverse When turning to the left: If the left travel lever is returned to the neutral position, the machine will turn to the left. * When turning to the right, operate the right travel lever in the same way. 3.
When making counter-rotation turn (spin turn) When turning left using counter-rotation, pull the left travel lever back and push the right travel lever forward. * When turning to the right using counter-rotation, pull the right travel lever back and push the left travel lever forward. - 62 -
