Separate steering
There are two types of steering with separate steering.
– Driving around corners:
When separate steering is switched on, the steering angle is larger than
for normal steering mode – the turning radius is smaller.
– Crab travel mode:
When separate steering is switched on, the truck crane drives sideways if
you turn the wheels of the front and rear axle lines in the same direction.
•
Open the main menu, if necessary.

Switching to separate steering

Always switch to separate steering when:
– Driving with the rigged truck crane
– Steering at low speed
Risk of accident when driving on-road with unlocked steering
After driving with separate steering, change over immediately to normal
steering. The locking status for normal steering mode is only restored once
the on-road driving symbol is displayed.
You can only change over to separate steering when the current speed is
below approx. 5 km/h (3 mph).
