Loading Lashing eyes for transport by low-loader/ship Lashing eyes on the front axle Lashing eye behind the 2nd axle Lashing eye over the 3rd axle Image shows as an example euro-Tiger (MAN) The machine has no mount points on which it can be lifted. For hoisting it into a ship for example, special, approved and TÜV-approved lifting devices are necessary.
Driving Battery emergency shutdown Steps to drive a Tiger – Switch on the Power supply at the emergency switch. (See Page – Lift the climbing ladder driver's cabin downwards. (See Page – Adjust the steering column (See Page – Turn on battery main switch. (See Page –...
Driving Ladder driver's cabin Ladder driver's cabin Ladder to driver's cabin in transport respectively working position Release lever driver's cabin ladder Rod driver's cabin ladder Rope driver's cabin ladder – Unlock ladder by pulling the release lever (1), fold it down by pulling the rod (2). ADVICE We recommend to fold up and lock this ladder during lifting! Thus, the forbidden climbing on the machine is not possible while driving!
Driving Steering column Steering column DANGER Hazard of deadly injuries if the steering column is moved while driving. In this case, the machine can go out of control and cause the severest damages. – Therefore, NEVER move the steering column while driving! Rotating handle (1) height adjustment Release rotating handle (1) (turn to the left), move the steering column to the desired height, retighten the rotating handle (turn to the right) and block the steering column.
Driving Battery disconnect relay Battery disconnect relay When you disconnect the power supply (upward = OFF, downward = ON) at the main battery switch (76) the power supply does not switch off until 6 minutes later (provided the ignition lock is in position 0). If you forget to switch off the main battery switch (76) the battery disconnect relay will switch off automatically 120 hours after switching off the ignition.

Driving Driving 2.13 Driving Electronic control relieves the driver and lightens the load on the environment by auto- motive driving. Automotive driving means that the driving speed is preselected by the pressure on the gas pedal. The electronics controls the hydrostatic drive and the diesel engine so that the preselected speed is always driven at the lowest possible engine rotational speed, independent on the fact whether you are driving uphill or downhill.
Page 26
Driving Driving Hydrostatic drives are deemed very safe. The following measure additionally increases this safety, if there should be any operating faults of the drive. If, when releasing the driving pedal, the machine should neither reduce driving speed nor stand still, then a safety circuit is activated by engaging the parking brake (1). This safety circuit bypasses the standard control behaviour of the hydraulic system and opens a safety valve that quickly shuts off the traction drive.

Driving Driving If it is not possible to move the vehicle, then the cause for this is shown on the R- Touch: Please release parking brake. Please release brake pedal. Error of the drive pedal sensors! Brake-air of pressure brake reservoir too low! Release pressure parking brake too low! Supply pressure in hydrostatic drive is very low Call customer service...
Driving Selection of the driving direction (forward+/backward) 2.14 Selection of the driving direction (forward+/backward) Foot switch driving direction (3): NOT PRESSED driving direction „forward“ PRESSED driving direction „backward“ Foot switch driving direction Drive pedal ADVICE For driving backward in the operating mode "Road", the drive pedal must be released completely.
Driving Steering in operating mode "Road" 2.15 Steering in operating mode "Road" In operating mode "Road", the rear wheels may be steered by moving the joystick back and forth, if the main steering switch (44) is unlocked. When driving on public roads and paths, the main steering switch must generally be locked.
Driving Steering in operating mode "Road" 2.15.2 All-wheel steer The conditions already described for activation of offset-steer apply here. When the steering variant "All-wheel steer" is activated (press key (2) on the joystick for 2 sec- onds), then the articulation joint is automatically moved to 0° position and remains in this position.
