OPERATION USING JOYSTICK LEVER AND OPERATION USING STEERING WHEEL
CAUTION
! If the directional lever and joystick FNR switch are not at the neutral position, the neutral interlock cir-
cuit makes it impossible to switch the transmission directional control (when the joystick ON/OFF
switch is ON, it is switched from the direc-
! tional lever to the joystick FNR switch; when the joystick ON/OFF switch is OFF, it is switched from
the joystick FNR switch to the directional lever).
! Do not use the joystick when traveling on public roads.
Select lever operation or steering wheel operation according to the work.
! Steering using joystick lever
This is suited for continuous loading operations on jobsites with ample space where the loading operation can
be carried out with a comparatively relaxed cycle time.
Because operations can be carried out with a small movements and light operating effort, this is also suitable
for reducing operator fatigue when operating continuously.
! Steering using steering wheel
This provides excellent fine control and ability to travel straight, so it is suitable for travel between jobsites and
for load and carry operations. In addition, it is also suitable for short cycle loading operations because it holds
the upper part of
the operator‘s body when frequently switching between FORWARD and REVERSE.
