Turns should not be made while the BMPM is attached to a truck using truck hitch arms.
Failure to comply may cause damage to equipment.
Vehicle can be turned 360 degrees on its axis by moving one track forward and the other
track backward (counter rotation). This should never be done with a full load of material or
when two-speed setting is set to high. Failure to comply may cause damage to equipment.
NOTE
Turning is done by moving one joystick (left or right) further than the other joystick. This will increase
speed of one track, causing the vehicle to veer left or right.
