STEERING COLUMNS/FOOT PEDALS
Driving Forwards And Reversing
NOTE: The following procedures describe forward,
reverse, left and right as seated in the
operator’s seat.
Figure OI-32
Put the blade so that it is at the front of the machine (as
you sit in the operator’s seat). Slowly move both steering
columns* (Item 1) [Figure OI-32] forwards for driving
forwards; backwards for reversing.
* Driving can also be controlled with foot pedals (Item 2)
[Figure OI-32]. Pivot the heel of the pedals forwards for
additional space on the floor.
WARNING
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
• Check the blade location before moving. When
the blade is to the rear, operate the steering
columns/foot pedals in the opposite direction to
when the blade is in the front.
• Move the steering columns/foot pedals slowly.
Abrupt column motion will cause the machine to
jerk.
