Steering
The steering wheel position can be adjusted as required for the most convenient
operating position. To adjust, pull out adjustment lock and tilt steering wheel up
or down as desired; release lever to lock adjustment.
To steer the machine, rotate the steering wheel in the desired direction to the
required radius of turn. The machine will turn only as the steering wheel is turned
and at a rate of turning directly proportional to steering wheel speed. The
machine will stop and hold position when the steering wheel is stopped. To return
the machine to the straight ahead position or to the opposite direction, turn the
steering wheel in the opposite direction.
Emergency steering pressure is provided by a ground-driven emergency pump
mounted on the transmission. An indicator lamp (on the right hand bank of
warning lamps in the cab) illuminates to warn of a fault in the steering system
supply pressure. If the lamp illuminates, stop the machine and investigate the
cause. The indicator lamp illuminates when the ignition is turned on and should
go out when the engine starts.
