WARNING: Where possible, try to avoid
travelling on rocky or icy terrain, on rails and
railway sections because they may damage
the tracks and reduce their longevity. Also
avoid passing over material that could ruin the
tracks, such as sharp objects, pieces of metal,
etc. that could get caught up in the tracks and
provoke a break.
At the start-up, regulate the number of rotations of the
motor to the desired level by activating the accelerator
lever, according to the required power (when the machine
is loaded, you must bring the lever above the halfway
mark between the minimum and maximum).
Under certain conditions, especially when the
machine is loaded or going uphill, a loss of engine power
may occur because of a motor overload; this may also
cause it to shut down. In this case, slowly release the
drive command lever, regulating the speed to a level that
does not provoke an overload of the propeller.
Being a machine equipped with a hydrostatic
transmission,
it is not necessary that the rotations of
the motor be at their maximum
for the transfer.
Leaving the motor operating at its maximum number of
rotations does not improve the functioning of the
machine, rather
it certainly (and uselessly) increases
its fuel consumption
: it is advisable, therefore, to
increase the rotations of the motor only where it is
absolutely necessary (to proceed at maximum speed, to
address steep slopes with a full load, etc.).

RIVING
P
OSITION
Your machine is driven manually and its speed and
stability are operated by one’s feet.
Alternatively, a driver’s seat is available. This
enables the driver to comfortably operate the machine
(
see fig. 41
).
