  • Publication number: 20190226178
    Abstract: A controller controls the steering device so as to cause a vehicle body to turn toward the left when a left steering lever is operated without a right steering lever being operated. The controller controls the steering device so as to cause the vehicle body to turn toward the right when the right steering lever is operated without the left steering lever being operated. The controller reduces the rotation speed of the engine when both the left steering lever and the right steering lever are operated and both the operation amount of the left steering lever and the operation amount of the right steering lever are equal to or greater than a first threshold.
