Four Wheel Steer Indexing
If the vehicle does not drive “straight,” the steering could be ”out of phase.”
Perform the “Four Wheel Steer Indexing Procedure” on page 186 to
synchronize the front and rear steering.
1. Four Wheel Steering
(Figure 47)
The front wheels will steer in the direction that the steering wheel is turned;
the rear wheels will steer in the opposite direction. This steering mode
allows an extremely short turning radius and enables the rear wheels to
follow the tracking of the front wheels which can be an advantage in mud
and sand conditions.
Figure 47
WARNING:
NEVER use the Four Wheel Steering Mode
when traveling at high speed. Rapid turning in this mode can
cause tipover. Use only the Front Wheel Steering Mode at higher
speeds and slow the vehicle when turning.
