WARNING Risk due to uncontrolled machine movements caused by the
absence of a mechanical connection between tractor and
forced steering axle system and (a) freely moving steering
axle(s) (no passive steering)!
Never move the machine with the forced steering axle uncoupled!
Exclusively couple the forced steering axle to a ball-type coupling

When using couplings of other sizes, the ball socket may come
loose during travelling.
