6.10.1 Steering in operating mode "Road"
In operating mode "Road", the rear wheels may be steered by moving the joystick
back and forth, if the main steering switch (44) is unlocked. When driving on public
roads and paths, the main steering switch must generally be locked. It may ONLY be
unlocked for driving through narrow curves and at low speed (below 12 km/h). When
the main steering switch is unlocked the driving speed of the machine is limited.
DANGER
Hazard of deadly injuries when driving with unlocked main steering switch.
In case of some technical faults, uncontrolled swinging movements of the vehicle at
higher speeds may occur. This might seriously endanger or cause deadly injuries to
other participants in traffic.
– Therefore, the main steering switch may be unlocked on public roads and paths
only under the conditions stated above and only for as long as indispensably
required.
6.10.1.1 Synchronized steering
The synchronised steering always directs the articulation joint synchronously to the
front wheels with the steering wheel. Unlike in the steering variant "U-turn", by the syn-
chronized steering the articulation is steered only with oil displacement of the front
axle steering. Thus, the articulated joint steers with

of U-turn articulation angle with-
out any interference of electronics. In case you need the whole manoeuvrability of the
machine (See Page 198).
6.10.1.2 Moving rear axles in central position
– Select operating mode "Road"
– Unlock the main steering switch (44)
– Drive at least 0.5 km/h and briefly press and release again the key (3) on the joy-
stick
This sets the rear wheels straight.
The key (2) and the multi-key (11) have the same function. If you want to move the
rear wheels in central position with the multi-key (11) the function is only executed
when you release the multi-key.
