This can lead to the truck crane starting to move (perhaps backwards) whilst you are moving your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator.
Driving 5.2 Operating the transmission 5.2.6 Driving and changing gears • When driving, always leave the switch in the position for the current driving direction, e.g. in position D for forward travel. Risk of accidents due to changing transmission direction whilst driving If whilst driving in one direction you select a gear for the opposite direction, the transmission shifts into the neutral position.

Driving 5.8 Towing a trailer Checking the When a trailer is coupled and connected, you can check whether the braking braking force force of the truck crane alone is sufficient for braking the truck crane and the trailer on uphill or downhill roads (e.g. when a brake hose has burst). To check this, you can release the parking brake of the trailer on its own.

Driving modes 6.2 Weighing the truck crane Weighing the truck crane Weighing error The most precise method for determining the total weight of the GMK4100L-1 is to use calibrated scales of appropriate capacity and a weighbridge on which all the wheels of the truck crane can stand at the same time. All other weighing procedures are subject to various factors which can lead to weighing errors.
Page 310
Driving modes 6.2 Weighing the truck crane – Determining the axle loads All the axle lines belonging to an axle group must always be weighed. In addition, all the wheels must be on the same level. If for instance only the axle group A1 is to be weighed, then the axle groups A2 must be equalised on a support plate U which has the same height as the scales W1 and W2.
Page 311
Driving modes 6.2 Weighing the truck crane Weighing procedure Perform the weighing procedure only with the crane truck standing on solid and horizontal ground. All scales must be at the same height. • Position the scales W1 to W4 (or the necessary support plate) directly in front of the truck crane, so that the distances between the scales are exactly the same as the distances between the axle groups 1 and 2.
Page 312
Driving modes 6.2 Weighing the truck crane Evaluation In the example shown you receive four weighing results. Assume you had made a note of the values listed here. Passenger side: W1 = 10 t, W3 = 12 t Driver's side: W2 = 10 t, W4 = 12 t These values allow you to determine the total weight of the truck crane and the axle loads for the individual axle lines.
Driving modes 6.3 Rigging work for driving with a dolly Rigging work for driving with a dolly To reduce the axle loads to the specifications applicable in the country in which you are working, you can set the main boom onto a dolly when driving.
