TM 10-3930-664-10 a. 4  Wheel  Steering.    Move  the  steering  select  lever  to  the  forward  position.    The  front  wheels  will  steer  in  the same direction that the steering wheel is turned; the rear wheels will steer in the opposite direction.  This mode allows the shortest turn radius.  It also enables the rear wheels to follow the tracking of the front wheels which is an advantage in mud or sand conditions. b. 2 Wheel Steering.  Move the steering select lever to the center position.  The front wheels will steer in the same direction that the steering wheel is turned.  The rear wheels will remain in the fixed forward position.  This mode is used for on-highway travel or at higher speeds. c. Crab Steering.  Move the steering select lever to the rear position.  All wheels will steer in the same direction. This  mode  permits  the  operator  to  move  the  vehicle  sideways  toward  the  landing  point  of  the  load.    This  is  especially helpful in tight quarters on the job, where there is not enough space to move a conventional forklift back and forth several times in order to line up at the exact spot in front of the loading location. 2-34
