ENENGLISH

The articulated steering means that the machine can turn around trees and other obstacles with an extremely small turning radius.

2.3Safety system

The machine is equipped with an electrical safety system. The safety system interrupts certain activ- ities that can entail a danger of incorrect manoeu- vres. For example, the engine cannot be started if the clutch-parking brake pedal is depressed.

The operation of the safety system must always be checked every time before use.

2.4 Controls

2.4.1 Implement lifter, mechanical (1:A)

To switch between working position and transport position:

1.Depress the pedal fully.

2.Release the pedal slowly.

2.4.2 Service brake - Clutch (1:B) (Man)

A pedal that combines both service brake and clutch. There are 3 positions:

1.Pedal released – forward drive engaged. The machine will move if a gear is engaged. Service brake not activated.

2.Pedal depressed halfway – forward drive disengaged, gear shifting can be performed. Service brake not activated.

3.Pedal fully depressed – forward drive disengaged. Service brake fully activated.

NOTE! You must never regulate the operating speed by slipping the clutch. Use a suitable gear instead, so that the right speed is obtained.

2.4.3Clutch-parking brake (1:B) (HST, 4WD)

Never press the pedal while driving. There is a risk of overheating in the power transmission.

The pedal has the following three positions:

Released. The clutch is not activated. The park- ing brake is not activated.

Depressed halfway. Forward drive disengaged. The parking brake is not activated.

Fully depressed. Forward drive disengaged. The parking brake is fully activated but not locked. This position is also used as emergency brake.

2.4.4 Inhibitor, parking brake (1:C)

The inhibitor locks the “clutch-brake” pedal in the depressed position. This func- tion is used to lock the machine on slopes, during transport, etc., when the engine is not running.

Locking:

1.Depress the pedal (3:B) fully.

2.Move the inhibitor (3:C) to the right.

3.Release the pedal (3:B).

4.Release the inhibitor (3:C).

Unlocking:

Press and release the pedal (3:B).

2.4.5Driving-service brake (1:F) (HST, 4WD)

If the machine does not brake as expect- ed when the pedal is released, the left pedal (1:B) should be used as an emer- gency brake.

The pedal determines the gearing ratio between the engine and the drive wheels (= the speed). When the pedal is released, the service brake is activated.

1.Press the pedal forward – the machine moves forward.

2.No load on the pedal – the ma- chine is stationary.

3.Press the pedal backward – the machine reverses.

4.Reduce the pressure on the pedal – the machine brakes.

2.4.6Throttle and choke control (1:D) (Prestige)

A control for setting the engine speed and to choke the engine when starting from cold.

If the engine runs unevenly there is a risk that the control is too far forward so that the choke is activated. This dam- ages the engine, increases fuel con- sumption and is harmful to the environment.

1.Choke – for starting a cold engine. The choke position is located at the front of the groove.

Do not operate in this position when the engine is warm.

2.Full throttle – when the machine is in operation, full throttle should always be used.

The full throttle position is approximately

2cm behind the choke position.

3. Idling.
