Control and operation

Manual control of the travelling movements

Fig. 3-66 Hand levers for manual travel control

When particularly careful and progressive travel movements are required: Insert the hand levers (1 and 2) delivered in the tool box of the machine into the both pedals for travel movements. The travel movements can now be controlled manually.

Note!

When travelling the machine onto or off a low loader, the travel movements must be controlled manually for safety reasons.

The travel brakes

Hydraulic braking

The hydrostatic travel drive of the machine also functions as a service brake.

When the travel pedals are released, the pedals will return automatically to the neutral position. a maximum hydraulic braking of the machine is achieved. the travel movement is stopped.

When the machine is travelling down a slope , automatically acting hydraulic braking valves prevent the machine from running away and the maximum travel speed cannot be exceeded.

Mechanical braking

A negatively acting, hydraulic multi disc brake is integrated in each travel gear. These brakes serve as parking brake.

As soon as a travel pedal is actuated, the brake at the corresponding travel gear is released.

As soon as a travel pedal is returned to neutral position, the mechanical brake at the corresponding travel gear is applied.

Caution!

Disengaging the pedals quickly causes the machine to halt abruptly. Before starting the machine, always fasten the safety belt.
