Differential lock
The differential lock can be used when a wheel of the rear axle spins and
driving is not possible.
The differential lock can be switched on only in working mode.
When the differential lock is switched on, the rigid connection of the drive
axles evenly transfers the driving torque to both wheels of the rear axle.
Caution!
If the differential lock is switched on incorrectly, it is possible that
the differential of the rear axle will be damaged.
The differential lock can be switched on only
if
:
• the drive is
not under load
,
• the
wheels are not spinning
and
Differential lock tip switch [97]
Switch on the differential lock of the rear axle with tip switch
97
.
Important!
The differential lock can be switched on while driving, but only if the
wheels are not spinning, i.e. as long as the wheels turn with ground
contact and only while driving straight ahead.
The differential lock engages only after the occurrence of low speed
differences at the wheels of rear axle (e.g. when cornering).
The differential lock is active only as long as the tip switch is pres-
sed.
Driving on firm ground with the differential lock switched on increa-
ses tyre wear.
Never use the differential lock longer than necessary.
