Operating instructions
66 Operating with differential locks
Longitudinal differential lock / 6-wheel drive
Q Engagement of the longitudinal differential lock automatically
causes the 6-wheel drive to be engaged as well.
Q The longitudinal differential lock and 6-wheel drive (6x6) is
used when operating on soft and slippery ground and on steep
inclines.
Q Engagement and disengagement can be made while operating
regardless of travelling speed.
Q The control lamp for longitudinal differential lock /6-wheel drive
on the instrument panel is on.
Q The control lamp in the switch is on.
NOTE! The longitudinal differential lock / 6-wheel drive must
be disengaged when operating on good ground and at high
travelling speed.
Transverse differential lock, front axle
Q Only use the transverse differential lock on the front axle
separately when the ground is very slippery but firm to maintain
the best possible steering ability of the machine.
Q Disengage the lock when operating on firm ground.
Q The control lamp on the instrument panel for the differential lock
on the front axle will be alight.
Q The control lamp in the switch will be alight.
Longitudinal differential lock / 6-wheel drive +
transverse differential lock, front axle
Q Provides the best possible traction with maintained steering
ability on soft and slippery ground.
Q Disengage the lock when operating on firm ground.
Q Both the control lamp for the longitudinal differential lock and
the control lamp for the differential lock on the front axle, will be
alight on the instrument panel.
Q The control lamp in the switches will be alight.
All differential locks / 6-wheel drive
Q Is used when operating where traction force is required.
Q The following control lamps on the instrument panel will be
alight:
– Longitudinal differential lock/6-wheel drive
– Differential lock, front axle
– Differential lock, bogie axle (front)
– Differential lock, bogie axle (rear)
Q The control lamp in the switches for the differential locks will be
alight, even if the switches are in position 0.
NOTE! The steering ability of the machine is reduced.
For engagement and disengagement of the differential locks, see
page 44.
