Operation
Forklift Travel
Steering Modes
Warning
NEVER use crab or four wheel (4W)
steering for traveling at high speeds. Use
only two wheel (2W) steering for higher
speed travel and slow the forklift before
turning. Rapid turning using crab, four wheel (4W),
or the optional two wheel rear (2WR) steering could
cause tip over, which could result in death, serious
injury, or property damage.
Check the turning radius area around the forklift
before making a turn, especially if using four wheel
(4W) steering or two wheel rear (2WR) steering, which
provide a tighter turning radius. Look over your
shoulder in the direction of the turn when backing.
Failure to remain aware of your turning radius area
could result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.
Caution
DO NOT change steering modes until the forklift slows
or comes to a complete stop. Align all four (4) wheels
“straight-ahead”, or perpendicular to the axle, before
changing steering mode. Changing steering modes
without aligning all four (4) wheels may result in
equipment damage.
The reach forklift includes three
STANDARD
modes of
steering; Crab, Two Wheel (2W), and Four Wheel (4W)
Steering Use the Steering Select switch located on the
right side of the dash panel to change steering modes
Crab Steering
Crab steering allows all four (4) wheels to turn
in the same direction as the steering wheel,
allowing the forklift to move “sideways” Crab
steering is useful in a congested work site to
line up to a loading location
Two Wheel Front Steering (2W)
Two wheel (2W) steering allows the front
wheels to turn in the same direction as the
steering wheel The rear wheels remain in
a fixed forward position Two wheel (2W)
steering is useful for traveling at higher speeds
Four Wheel Steering (4W)
Four wheel (4W) steering allows the front wheels to
turn in the same direction and the rear wheels to turn
in the opposite direction of the steering wheel The
rear wheels follow the front wheel path Four wheel
(4W) steering is useful for a short turning radius and in muddy or
sandy conditions
Two Wheel Rear Steering (2WR) (Optional)
OPTIONAL
two wheel rear (2WR) steering allows the
rear wheels to turn in the same direction as the steering
wheel The front wheels remain in a fixed forward
position
NOTE:
A separate switch is located on the
right side of the dash panel to engage and disengage the optional
two wheel rear (2WR) steering mode
Maximum Fork Sweep
Warning
Allow for adequate clearance between the
attachment and other objects when turning.
The attachment extends beyond the front of
the forklift. The operator must be aware of the
maximum sweep of any attachment being used, when turning,
to avoid hitting personnel and other objects in the area to
prevent death, serious injury, or property damage.
