WARNING:
 Avoid sudden steering while moving the machine at
high speeds, while moving on a steep slope, or while
raising the lift arms. Failure to do so may cause the
machine to turn over.
 Never attempt to stop the engine while steering
the machine. If the engine is stopped, the steering
wheel will lock and the parking brake will be applied
so that steering will be impossible. Never stop the
engine while moving the machine.
 Never steer while raising the lift arm high as it is
extremely dangerous and may cause the machine to
turn over.
IMPORTANT: When the steering wheel is fully turned,
the front and the rear chassis come in contact with the
stoppers so that the steering wheel does not rotate
further. If the steering wheel is forcibly turned further,
the engine may stall or steering system problems may
result.
Turn the steering wheel toward the direction you intend to
steer the machine during operation.
f
NOTE: This machine has an articulated frame design. The
front and rear chassis are coupled by connection pins (center
pins) so that the rear wheels follow the tracks of the front
wheels.
Turn the steering wheel slowly so as to follow the motion of
the machine.
