5 Operation
Checking the steering system
Information
The steering system is only operational when the engine is running!
However the machine can still be steered if the diesel engine or the pump
drive breaks down –
emergency steering feature!
Turning the steering wheel requires greater effort! Take this into account
especially when towing the machine!
►
Adapt the towing speed to the modified steering behavior! (Walking
speed)
• Turn the steering wheel to the left and right with the engine running
and at walking speed. As you do so, check whether the wheels turn in
the same way as the steering wheel.
Synchronizing the steering system
Due to internal leakage in the steering hydraulics, the front and rear axle
wheels of the machine no longer follow the same track during straight-
ahead machine travel after extended work operation.
The steering system must be synchronized from time to time.
WARNING
Accident hazard when synchronizing the steering system during
machine travel!
Failure to observe this can cause serious injury or death.
►
Synchronize the steering system only at a standstill or at walking
speed.
Synchronizing with 4 wheel steering (standard)
1. Select a speed
– see "Travel speed increase/reduction/driving speed"
2. Select the travel direction with the switch on the joystick
– see "Select the travel direction, start, stop" on page 5-15
.
3. At low driving speed, turn the steering wheel to the
left or right
as far
as it will go and try turning it even further in the end position against the
pressure for a few seconds.
4. Quickly turn steering system
back
in into the straight-ahead position.
➥
Perform a test run to check that the front and rear wheels run in the
same track.
Information
Have the steering system checked by an authorized service center if this
does not synchronize the wheels.
