Reverse In Engine Forward Operation

CAUTION: Back up slowly. Steering is opposite to normal when reversing. Hold steering wheel at the bottom, and turn wheel in direction you want the rear of the machine to travel.

The following instructions are for cab forward reverse operation with the seat facing the header direction of travel.

Reversing in low speed-range and at reduced engine speed is recommended since steering will be less sensitive than higher speed settings.

NOTE: The W150 operator may rotate the operators station to face the engine. Instructions for this type of reverse operation follow in this section.
