Ride control system (LSD)
Depending on the machine's operating weight, road
conditions, and speed, there may be pitching
oscillations when driving wheel loaders.
The ride control system reduces pitching oscillation,
which results in the following advantages:
– higher transport speed
– improved material-handling performance
– more stable steering performance
– shorter braking distance
– increased ride comfort
Attention
Load-retaining valves (option) are without
function as long as the ride control system is
activated!
Operation
• Switch on the ride control system (82/51): green
indicator lamp ON.
The ride control system is automatically activated as
soon as the travel speed is more than 6 km/h.
Attention
The bucket tilt cylinder must not be at a
cylinder stop (bucket not completely tilted
back) as otherwise free oscillation is not
possible.
Repair
Danger to life
due to pressure in the hydraulic system.
Before working on the loader hydraulic
system, the accumulator pressure of the ride
control system must be let off.
To do so, proceed as follows:
• Stop the machine in the proper manner.
• Switch off the ride control system (82/51).
• Remove the front-end cover.
• Carefully release the setscrew (83/1).
Pressure is reduced.
