ATTENTION
Hazard of severe damage to the axles.
If you do not observe this note, then the claw clutches of the differential locks may be
destroyed.
– The differential lock may ONLY be switched when the machine is at a complete
standstill (0.0 km/h).
– Never turn greatly the wheels with differential lock switched on! Always set the
wheels before switching on into running straight ahead position! The power trans-
mitting components (differential drive, cardan shaft, planetary drive, etc.) are highly
stressed.
ADVICE
If machine traction is insufficient under demanding conditions, then first switch on just
the differential lock of the front axle.
The rear axle lock should only be used if continuation of work would otherwise be
impossible. To avoid damage to the axle, the wheels must in any case be steered to
about straight alignment.
If the steering angle of the front or rear axle is excessively turned in a particular direc-
tion, then the differential lock cannot be engaged.
Only switch on the differential locks if they are actually needed. Use of the differen-
tial locks is not required when operating on normal terrain or with correctly set pickup
depth, pickup relief and counterweight position.
Switch on differential lock of front axle:
– To switch on the differential lock completely release the gas pedal and stop the
vehicle.
– Press the key (3) on the keypad I.
– The icon appears on the R-Touch if the engagement position of the axle is not
achieved. The LED flashes.
– The icon appears on the R-Touch if the differential lock is engaged. The LED is
lit.
