8.4.4 Adjust travelling height via three-way cock
Depending on the tyres and extensions used, the vehicle height may
significantly vary.
Make sure not to exceed the admissible vehicle height (in Germany:
4 m) when setting the travelling height!
•
The travelling height is adjusted on firm, even ground via the
levelling valve with the machine being empty.
•
The travelling heights of the right-hand and left-hand machine
side are separately set. The procedure for setting the travelling
height is the same on both machine sides.
•
For safety reasons, the machine lowers only slowly.
Set the correct distance X between the locating
points of the hydraulic cylinders (7) one after
another on the right-hand and left-hand machine
side.
