6.10.2.5 U-turn steer
The conditions already described for activation of offset-steer apply here. As the name
implies, the steering variant U-turn serves almost exclusively for turning the machine in
the smallest space.
In this variant the vehicle is programmed so that the machine U-turn can be relatively
simply performed without further switching even in a limited space. Once the steer-
ing variant "U-turn" is activated shortly pressing the key (2) on the joystick, the articu-
lated joint bends always matching the front wheels. Thus, it follows any movement of
the front wheels. At the same time, the rear wheels move opposite to the front wheels.
Thus, the manoeuvrability of the machine is significantly improved.
6.10.2.6 All-wheel steer
The conditions already described for activation of offset-steer apply here. When the
steering variant "All-wheel steer" is activated (press key (2) on the joystick for 2 sec-
onds), then the articulation joint is automatically moved to 0° position and remains in
this position. The rear wheels move opposite to the front wheels and so support the
steering movement of the front wheels. The steering behaviour of the machine during
all-wheel steer is therefore the same as for U-turn, with the difference, that the articula-
tion does not also steer during all-wheel steer.
