Driving modes
Driving mode selector
changes the response of the
drive pedals. The system can
be optimised for speed,
maximum battery life, or
greatest accuracy of control.
The maximum pulling force is
the same regardless of the
position of the switch.
1.
Power mode
Use this mode when you need high driving
speed and quick acceleration. The loader will
respond quickly to drive pedals.
Battery run time may be short as result.
2.
ECO mode
Use this mode for maximum battery run time.
Management of electric systems and hydraulic
flow are optimised to avoid waste of energy.
Maximum driving speed and acceleration are
limited.
3.
Slow / inching mode
This mode provides a modified response to the
drive pedal. This helps you to operate the
loader in tight spaces, where great accuracy is
needed, or when learning to operate the
loader.
When you want to have a high pulling
force:

Drive pedals adjust the speed of the loader.
Pushing pedal further down will increase speed,
but the control systems of the loader keep
pulling/pushing force of the loader full in all
positions of the drive pedals.

The position of the driving mode switch does not
affect pulling force.

The position of the hand throttle lever does not
affect pulling force or drive speed.

If the battery charge level is low, the loader may
not be able to produce maximum pulling force or
high drive speed. Push pedal lighter in this case.
.
Operating mode switch
The loader is equipped with a safety system that
restricts the use of controls of the loader, if there is
no driver on the driver's seat. There are two
operating modes that are controlled with a switch on
the panel:
1.
When control mode switch is
switched to this position,
auxiliary hydraulics can be
operated while not seated on
the seat. Drive pedals are
disabled.
This makes it possible to
operate attachments that are
controlled with their own
control systems. Those
attachments may be intended
to be operated from other
position than from the driver's
seat. See the intended use
and operating position from
the operator's manuals of
those attachments.
2.
In this mode, the drive pedals
boom movements and
auxiliary hydraulics can be
used only while seated on the
driver's seat
OptiDrive™
The e5 loaders are equipped with the efficient Avant
OptiDrive™ hydraulic drive system as standard.
The system is designed for optimal hydraulic oil flow,
which helps to conserve energy by minimising
losses. This is achieved with the use of integrated
high efficiency Avant valve blocks and EO3 type
hose fittings.
