Off-road operating

Different types of ground conditions require different operating
techniques. Check the ground conditions before operating in
order to avoid getting the machine stuck.
Always use the longitudinal differential lock and 6-wheel drive
when there is a risk of slipping, see page
Always engage the transverse differential locks before any of
the wheels begin to spin.
In tough ground conditions where there is a risk of getting stuck,
use the steering in combination with the transverse differential
lock (foot control) in order to "renew" traction for the wheels, so-
called DUCK WALK.

When operating in soft ground conditions and space allows,
choose a new track for each run. This way you avoid making as
well as running in deep ruts.
