7.2.6 Ride control system (RCS) (option)
Depending on the machine's operating weight, road conditions, and speed,
there may be pitching oscillations when driving wheel loaders.
The ride control system reduces pitching oscillation, which results in the
following advantages:
• higher transport speed
• improved material-handling performance
• more stable steering performance
• shorter braking distance
• increased ride comfort
Switching on the ride control system
Set the ride control system to the forward switch position.
J The green indicator lamp lights up.
The ride control system is automatically activated as soon as the travel speed is
more than 6 km/h.
Note
Load-retaining valves (option) are without function as long as the ride control
system is activated (at more than 6 km/h)!
Note
The bucket tilt cylinder must not be at a cylinder stop (bucket not completely
tilted back) as otherwise free oscillation is not possible.
