Control and operation

Travel forwards:

Push both pedals forward at the same time (5a and 6a).

Travel backwards:

Caution!

Before travelling in reverse, ensure that the area behind you is clear and nobody is in your way.

Push both pedals down at the same time (5b and 6b).

Counter rotation with both tracks

Counter rotating left (A):

Push the left pedal down (5b).

Push the right pedal forwards at the same time (6a).

Counter rotating right (B):

Push the right pedal down (6b).

Push the left pedal forwards at the same time (5a).

Turning over one track

Turning ahead to the left (A): Push the right pedal forwards (6a).

Turning ahead to the right (B): Push the left pedal forwards (5a).

Note!

Manual control of the travelling movements

Fig. 3-63 Hand levers for manual travel control

If possible, avoid turning over one track, and especially turning over one track backwards in order to preserve the track components from unnecessary strains. Note!

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.

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

Travel speed increase

The travel motors can be operated in two different positions depending on the state of the push button S21:

Normal travel speed (position 1) :

Maximum track forces at moderate travel speed. Increased travel speed (position 2) :

Reduced track forces at maximum travel speed.

Press the push button S21. the LED 1 in the push button illuminates. Automatic commutation between normal travel speed and increased travel speed is turned on.

During travel, the travel motors will automatically shift from normal travel speed to increased travel speed as the ground conditions permit. If the ground conditions become more difficult again, the motors will automatically shift back from increased travel speed to normal speed.
