Differential lock
The differential lock connects the two rear
wheels rigidly to each other. This improves
traction. Actuate the differential lock when a
wheel slips.
Always actuate the differential lock when mov-
ing downhill. This improves the driving stability
of the device. The risk of sliding or swerving of
the rear is reduced and safe braking is pos-
sible.
Driving in curves while the differential lock is
actuated is only possible with limitations.
To avoid excessive wear,
– actuate the differential lock only when the
device is stopped, if possible.
– always step on the pedal all the way.
– release the differential lock when it is no
longer absolutely needed.
Transport
Transport the device on a freight vehicle or a
trailer which is designed for a carrying capacity
of at least as great as the empty weight of the
device.
Transport on pallets
For transport over short distances, use a fork
lift or a lift truck.
For longer distances, load the device with a
fork lift onto a freight vehicle or trailer.
The user must be authorised to operate a fork
lift. When the machine is lifted, all persons
must step away from the working area of the
fork lift.
Notice! Drive the fork lift completely under the
longitudinal beams of the wooden pallets.
Transport of ready-to-use device
Warning
Risk of injury due to the heavy weight of the
device. The device can fall over and fall
down and cause severe injuries.
► Observe the following notices.
Do not stay in the tilting area of the device.
Prior to each transport, let the device cool
down for at least 20 minutes. Close the fuel
valve and the tank ventilation.
