CD5515-2/YB5515-2 OPERATOR MANUAL OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Steering Controls

The crane can be operated in three steering modes:

• Two-Wheel Steering Mode

• Four-Wheel Steering Mode

• Crab Steering Mode

These modes are selected using the Steering Selector

Switch (1, Figure 3-10). Because proximity switches are

used in the steering system, after a steering mode is

selected and the steering wheel is turned, the steering mode

will automatically switch when the tires are aligned in straight

ahead direction.

The steering modes are shown in Figure 3-11, 3-12, and

3-13.

Two-Wheel Steer Mode

The front wheels steer the crane (Figure 3-11). The rear

wheels remain in the fixed straight ahead position. This

mode is used for highway travel and traveling at higher

speeds.

Four-Wheel Steer Mode

NOTE: DO NOT travel at high speed with the crane in the

four-wheel steer mode. Possible tipping may occur

when turning.

The front wheels steer in the direction that the steering wheel

is turned and rear wheels turn in the opposite direction

(Figure 3-12). This mode allows for an extremely short

turning radius. It enables the rear wheels to follow the track

of the front wheels.

Crab Steer Mode

All wheels steer in the same direction (Figure 3-13). This

mode permits the operator to move the crane sideways for
