5.5 Separate steering
There are two steering modes with separate steering.
– Driving around corners:
When the separate steering is switched on, the steering angle is larger
than for normal steering mode – the turning circle is smaller.
– Crab travel mode:
When the separate steering is switched on, the truck crane drives side-
ways if you turn the wheels of the front and rear axle lines in the same
direction.
5.5.1 Switching to separate steering
Always switch to separate steering when
– driving with the truck crane rigged or
– steering at low speed.
You can only change over to separate steering when the current speed is
below approx. 5 km/h (3 mph).

Risk of accidents when driving on-road with unlocked steering!
After driving with separate steering, change over immediately to normal
steering mode. The locking status for normal steering mode is only
restored once the on-road driving symbol is displayed.
