Regulating the travelling speed

Travelling on level ground

Regulate the travelling speed with

 pedals (112 and 113, Fig. 2-108:) and

 Switch (72, Fig. 2-109:) to the left (slow gear).

All forward/reverse travel movements are possible with this gear.

 Switch (72, Fig. 2-109:) to the right (fast gear).

The excavator can be driven only parallel forwards with this fast gear.

The travel gearbox changes automatically into the 1st gear as soon as another travelling function (e.g. reversing, cornering) is initiated.

Change speed range only when the excavator is stationary.

Press engine speed regulator switches (48 and 58) to the left (full-throttled position).

Travelling uphill and downhill

Do not exceed the maximum machine inclination (see “Maximum machine inclinations” chapter).

Read and observe the "TravellingSafety instructions" chapter.

 Depress padals (112 and 113, Fig. 2-108:) fully to the limit stop.

 Regulate the travel speed only with the engines speed control.

When travelling downhill, the travel retarder valve acts as a speed limiter.

The travel retarder valve works correctly if pedals (112 and 113) are fully depressed down to the limit stop.

Should the travelling speed become too high when travelling downhill release pedals (112 and 113) to stop the excavator.
