Concerning follower and self-steering axles
Any self-controlled running gear can be used in steering mode. To do this, simply
place the cylinder(s) to the side(s) of the drawbar in the space provided for this
purpose. The axis ball cylinder - tractor clevis then serves to block the cylinders.
The pressure in the circuit must always be released (monitor through the
pressure gauges). For locking the follower axle, a hose, labeled yellow-green, is
located on the hose holder.
In the self-steering (or forced) mode, it is forbidden to use the
steering axle locking hose, as this may cause great damage to
the hydraulic system. Thus, to avoid any risk of error, it is highly
recommended not to connect this hose (marked by striped
yellow and green markings) to the tractor in self-steering mode.
. Before steering, ensure that nothing is blocking the rotation of the wheels.
It is imperative that the hydraulic system of the axles is purged of all air.
Do not exceed recommended pressures in the process of pressurizing the circuit
because the membranes of the accumulators may be damaged and no longer
fulfill their role.
Concerning the follower axles
For locking the steering axle, a hose labeled yellow-green is located on the hose
holder.
. On the highway in steering mode, it is advisable to lock the
axle(s) to avoid any risk of an accident involving an unplanned
movement of the trailer, especially when your vehicle is laden.
