4.2.4.3 Direct-Control System (DC-S)
By moving the selector on the push-button panel to the "DC-S" position, you can
use only the right Joystick (11) to move in the driving direction, maintaining a
straight trajectory without having to correct the direction with the other
joystick.
Adjusting the speed:
This is possible using selector 9 on the console that controls the internal
combustion engine accelerator.
4.2.4.3.1 Turtle
In this particular travel mode, the internal combustion engine operates at
accelerated rate.
This allows to have the correct power for the platform to climb up slopes and
for the machine to be loaded onto vehicles.
4.2.4.3.2 Hare
In this particular travel mode, as well as having the internal combustion engine
operating at accelerated rate, the following functions are also activated (if the
electrical engine has been selected there is no variation of the number of revs
but the following function is the same):
Capacity variation of the hydraulic engines:
The hydraulic engines use smaller capacities allowing for the speed to be
increased (but at the expense of traction)
Booster:
After a delay of 1 second from the start of the control, the hydraulic engines are
connected in series resulting in the speed doubling.
