RT60 Rough Terrain Crane 07 - 5
7. 7 STEERING OPERATION
The vehicle adopts the hydraulic booster steering system which ensures the safe and
reliable steering movement.
Pay attention to the following items during steering:
a) Look around before steering, and then operate the steering wheel after ensuring
everything is OK;
b) If necessary, shift the transmission to lower gear to decelerate during steering;
c) If steering is not enough, decelerate the vehicle gradually and simultaneously operate
the steering wheel in the same direction;
d) If steering is too much, decelerate the vehicle and simultaneously operate the steering
wheel in the reverse direction as soon as possible;
Do not turn the steering wheel in one direction too quickly except in an
emergency. Turn smoothly to keep crane laterally stable. Once the steering is
complete, turn the steering wheel to the neutral position gently and immediately
to avoid making the crane unstable.
e) In sharp turning, decelerate the vehicle and shift the transmission into low gear.
