Note! If machine traction is insufficient under demanding conditions, then first switch on
just the differential lock of the front axle.
The rear axle lock should only be used if continuation of work would otherwise be
impossible. To avoid damage to the axle, the wheels must in any case be steered to
about straight alignment.
The power transmitting components (differential drive, jointed shaft, planetary gears,
etc.) are subject to very heavy strain.
Never steer the wheels with a too great angle with the differential lock engaged!
When you increase the steering angle too much, one of the following warning icons is
displayed on the color terminal. In addition, a warning signal sounds. Before switching
on, always set the wheels straight!
If the steering angle of the front or rear axle is excessively turned in a particular
direction, then the differential lock cannot be engaged.
Note! The rear axle is only able to perform limited steering tasks with the differential lock
engaged. If larger steering movements of the rear axle are required, then first shut off
the differential lock of the rear axle.
When switching to operating mode Rabbit II, the differential locks are automatically
switched off.
If the differential lock should be accidentally switched on while driving, the following
warning icon is displayed on the color terminal: .
To cancel the differential lock, completely release the driving pedal and stop the
machine.
