The front axle is pivoted relative to the undercarriage frame to
provide the best possible ground contact when travelling over
uneven ground. The maximum pivoting angle is 9 degrees in
either direction.
With a locked pivot axle, the traction while driving on uneven
ground is limited.

The axle is automatically locked if:
- the engine is not running
- or, the ignition key is off
- or, if P-mode is selected
- or, the control lockout lever is in lower position
- or, the brake pedal is pressed down (brake pressure higher
than 60 bar).
In this case the yellow control lamp (B) is shown in the IC
(Instrument Cluster).
The automatic axle locking is disengaged if none of the above
mentioned conditions is fulfilled and the axle is not manually
locked.
If the pivot axle is unlocked the pivot axle unlocked symbol (C) is
shown in the IC (Instrument Cluster).

If the machine is in T-Mode a manual locking of the pivot axle is
not possible.
It is possible to engage the manual pivot axle locking while it is
engaged automatically, so that the axle stays locked when the
conditions for automatic locking is not fulfilled any more.
In this case the green control lamp (D) is shown in the display unit.
The pivot axle locking can be disengaged manually by pressing
the upper part of the switch (A) or the button on the control lever
for more than 1 second, if the automatic axle lock is not active.
