STIC Steering Control
The directional steering of the machine is controlled by the STIC steering control lever.
When the STIC steering control lever is moved to the right of center, the machine steers to the right. When the STIC steering control lever is moved to the left of center, the machine steers to the left.
Note: When the STIC steering control lever is released, the lever will return to the center position. However, the machine will maintain the direction in which it was moving.
The STIC steering control lever must be moved past center in the opposite direction to which the machine was turning to return to straight ahead travel.
