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.
To use this function in the best way, it is advisable to control both Joysticks in
the desired direction first) with selector 9 on hare) and then move selector 8
from DM to DC-S.
At this point it is possible to release the left joystick and to keep holding only
the right one. The machine will continue to move straight at maximum speed.
Warning: It is not possible to perform the reverse procedure; once the machine
travels in DC-S it cannot go back to DM, not even if selector 8 is moved.
It is only possible to stop the machine completely by releasing the right joystick.
Warning: When the joystick is released, the machine will not stop immediately
bit there is a deceleration ramp. The space travelled before it stops can even be
of 50 cm.
