Front Axle Steering. The steering wheel in the carrier cab provides conventional
steering control of the front axle so that the crane is steered in the direction the steering wheel is
turned. This method of steering must always be used on the road or when traveling at higher
speeds. However, the rear wheels must be centered and locked in the straight ahead position for
normal steering response.
Before moving the crane:
a.
Verify that REAR AXLE STEERING LOCK Switch (47, Figure 5-1) is in the
LOCKED position.
b.
Verify that REAR STEER LOCK ENGAGED Indicator (46) on the front
console panel is lit.
If the DISENGAGED indicator light is on:
a.
Check the REAR STEER DIRECTION Indicator (49) arrows and use the
REAR AXLE STEERING Control Switch (48) to center the wheels.
