Driving from the
crane cab
• Check whether the idling speed is set to the default value. The rigged truck
crane may only be driven at minimum speed.
• Switch to the lowest starting gear; à Operating instructions of the truck
crane
. In this way you can prevent the transmission from upshifting and
keep the speed to a minimum.
• Switch on the separate steering; à Operating instructions of the truck
crane
.
If necessary, you can
– Switch on the longitudinal differential locks
– Switch on the transverse differential locks
While driving
• Only drive slowly, do not upshift.
• Driving around corners at a maximum turning radius.
• Steer the truck crane only when it is rolling and avoid sudden steering
movements.
Never align the truck crane with the level adjustment system if the ground
is uneven. In this case you must raise the truck crane with the supporting
cylinders, level it and then lower it again.
