Operation 5
Synchronizing the steering system
Due to internal leakage in the steering hydraulics, the front and rear axle
wheels of the machine no longer follow the same track during
straight-ahead machine travel after extended operation. The steering
system must be synchronized from time to time.
Accident hazard when synchronizing the steering system during
machine travel!
Can cause serious injury or death. Possible loss of machine control.
► Synchronize the steering system only at a standstill machine or at
walking speed.
► Do not synchronize during machine travel on public roads.
1. If the front axle steering (optional) is switched on, change the steering
to all-wheel steering – see "Changing over from front axle steering to
4-wheel steering" on page 5-2.
2. At walking speed, slowly turn the steering wheel to the left or right as
far as it will go.
3. Continue turning the steering wheel briefly past the end position.
4. Turn the steering wheel rapidly back to straight-ahead position.
➥ Synchronization is over.
5. Check that the wheels of the front and rear axles are in the same track
when traveling straight ahead.
Have the cause immediately repaired by an authorized service center if
this does not synchronize the wheels!
