Switching the differential lock ON and OFF
The differential lock neutralises the compensating effect of the differential, i.e. traction is
distributed evenly to the front and rear wheels.
• Both the front and the rear axle of the machine are fitted with a
self-locking differential
• The lock value is 45 % for each axle.
The differential is locked automatically and cannot be switched on or off!
