Fig. 72-B
Front wheel steering
Front wheel steering can be selected in transport mode and in work mode.
Four-wheel steering
Four-wheel steering can only be selected in work mode. With this steering
mode, the wheels of the rear axle are locked in the opposite direction to
the wheels of the front axle. Advantage: small turning radius.
Synchronising the steering
If you want to revert back to transport mode after using four-wheel steer-
ing, the steering wheel must be moved through the straight-ahead position
by turning the steering wheel slowly to the left and right. The steering
mode is automatically switched to front wheel steering.
Checking the steering
To ensure that the steering system is fully functional at all times, check the
steering before driving the vehicle.
With vehicles with four-wheel steering, check the steering in steering
mode four-wheel steering.
Turn the steering wheel to the left and right when the diesel engine is
switched off.
It must be possible to turn the steering wheel with increased force and the
wheels must follow the steering movement.
With four-wheel steering, pay special attention to the synchronous steer-
ing behaviour between the front and rear axle.
Furthermore, check the steering system visually for leaks.
If a point is not fulfilled during the test, only move the vehicle slowly and
have an authorised workshop eliminate the fault.
