2.7. Machine Control and Usage
For the maximum permissible slope gra-
dient when driving uphill and across the
slope gradient, see figures.
The values given are lower depending
on adhesive conditions and the machine
instantaneous weight!
Unless the engine cooling liquid temper-
ature reaches min 60 °C, do not load the
engine at full capacity!
Never use 3rd gear to start moving!
Never reverse with 2nd and 3rd gear!
During speed reduction, change in time
to a lower gear! You can shift under load
(Power shift).
Use differential interlock only when re-
covering the Machine! Switch OFF the in-
terlock once heavy conditions are over-
come - danger of damage to differential
or tires.
When oil temperature in gearbox rises
over 120 °C, stop the work, stop driving
and cool gearbox oil down to optimal 80-
100 °C in situ at increased engine speed
of 1500 rpm. If oil heats up to 120 °C
frequently, change the driving manner
- shift gears more frequently, clean oil
cooler!
Never use parking brake for normal
brake application.
! CAUTION !
When you select direction of running via controller,
and after braking off the Machine will start to move
slowly even with the engine idling.
While driving, keep the engine at rather high rpm
to achieve better controllability of steering the
Machine.
