5.3 Driving and parking off the truck crane
5.3.1 Checks while driving
Immediately after
you start to move
• Check the service and parking brakes for correct functioning immediately
after starting out.
• Check the lamps (1).
At speeds above 10 km/h (6 mph) all the lamps must go out. If a lamp does
not go out, this indicates a malfunction in the steering.
– The lamp (1) lights up when an error is detected in the steering system –
the symbol (2) is shown. The 4th and 5th axles are brought into the
straight running position and can no longer be steered. It is possible to
continue driving. Steering is now only possible with the 1st and 2nd axle
lines – the turning radius increases accordingly.
• Have the error rectified as soon as possible.
– The lamp (1) lights up when a serious fault is detected in the steering sys-
tem – the symbol (2) is shown. The 4th and 5th axle lines can longer be
steered in a controlled manner.
• Stop the vehicle as soon as possible. Briefly switch the ignition off then
on again. If the lamp is still lit, contact
Manitowoc Crane Care.

G
Risk of accidents because the truck crane cannot be steered!
Never switch off the ignition or remove the ignition key while the truck
crane is moving!
This precaution prevents the steering from locking and consequent loss of
control of the moving truck crane.
G
Risk of accident when the ignition is switched off!
Never switch off the ignition while driving.
After switching off the ignition the 4th and 5th axle lines are brought into
forward alignment and can no longer be moved.
This changes the turning radius of the truck crane.
