STEERING SYSTEM
Ninety degree rear wheel power steering is provided
to reduce operator fatigue and to permit high
maneuverability in close quarters. It is important that the operator practice
maneuvering the handler in a safe, open area until
he becomes thoroughly familiar with steering
response and clearance required for tailswing and
load when turning.
FRONT OUTRIGGERS (2) (OPTIONAL)
Front outriggers are provided in order to raise the
front tires off of the ground level while working, thus
improving the overall stability of the handler.
Two outrigger control levers are located to the right
hand side of the operator ’s seat. Pushing forward on
the lever lowers the outriggers, and pulling back on
the lever raises them.
Be alert for any increase in eftort needed to
steer. It any difference is noted, notify
maintenance personnel immediately for
correction. It power assist feature should
fail for any reason IT WOULD BECOME
VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. For this
reason it is extremely important that you
NEVER TURN ENGINE OFF WHILE
TRAVELING.
In the event power steering tails, stop as
soon as possible. Do not drive unit until
problem has been corrected.
