Accident hazard due to steering system not working correctly!
Driving with a defective steering system can lead to accidents and injur-
ies or death.

controlled via the steering wheel. The steering wheel acts via a steering
column and a steering orbitrol on double-acting hydraulic cylinders.

Emergency steering feature
The steering system is only operational when the engine is running nor-
mally.
The vehicle can still be steered if the diesel engine or the pump drive
breaks down. However, operating the steering system then requires
greater strength and the steering will only respond slowly. Take this into
account especially when towing the vehicle. Adjust the towing speed to
the changed steering behavior (walking pace)!
