PLATE 1491045 - Caterpillar

Steering Control Alignment Override
This procedure should only be used to place the machine in a secure location and not during normal operation.
Personal injury or death can result from sudden machine movement.Personnel can be injured during the steering check.To help prevent possible personal injury, keep all personnel away from the machine or in clear view of the operator when the machine is in operation during steering checks.
Detection of the Left-Hand Steering Console in the lowered and locked position is determined by a switch. In the case of a failed or malfunctioning switch, the left-hand steering device will not be enabled, the transmission shifting into Forward or Reverse will not be allowed and the Parking Brake cannot be released. If the machine must be moved, the following override procedure can be used to initiate steering alignment and move the machine to the nearest possible secure location.
Start the machine.
Move the Left-Hand Steering Console to the lowered position and lock the arm rest in position.
Place the Direction Control (FNR) switch on the Left-Hand Steering Control in the Neutral Position.
Use the Auto/Manual Transmission button to put the transmission in Manual shifting mode.
Use the Upshift/Downshift Roller on the Left-Hand Steering Control to put the machine into 1st gear Neutral (1N).
Use the Direction Control (FNR) switch on the Left-Hand Steering Control to quickly cycle to FNF. This action allows the machine to go into 1st gear Forward (1F) and allow machine to drive through the parking brake.
Slowly increase the throttle until machine begins to move forward.
When the machine speed is greater than zero, the Left-Hand Steering Control will attempt to align with the machine articulation angle. Once this alignment is achieved, steering will be enabled.Note: If alignment does not occur within 2 seconds of the machine speed being greater than zero, the steering will be enabled and the machine will articulate to the Left-Hand Steering Control position.
Move the machine to a secure location.
Place the Direction Control (FNR) switch on the Left-Hand Steering Control into the Neutral (N) Position.Note: Once you override the steering, move the machine to the nearest possible secure location and consult your Cat dealer.Note: The same procedure can also be utilized in the reverse direction.Transmission Control
Upshift/Downshift Roller (77)
Move the thumb wheel upward to upshift the transmission.Move the thumb wheel downward to downshift the transmission.Note: In cold conditions, the transmission will not allow usage above 2nd gear until the hydraulic oil is warm.Direction Control (78)
Note: Steering must be enabled to shift out of neutral.The direction control is on the front side of the Left-Hand Steering Control.FORWARD - Push the bottom of the switch to place the transmission in FORWARD.NEUTRAL - Push the switch to the middle position to place the transmission in NEUTRAL.REVERSE - Push the top of the switch to place the transmission in REVERSE.Direction Control - The machine may be placed into gear by using the forward/neutral/reverse on the Left-Hand Steering Control or the implement control joystick or pod if equipped. To use the transmission control on the Left-Hand Steering Control,
