Caution:
If a situation occurs in which the operator seems to be losing control of the
machine, the dead man’s handle should immediately be released. The drive on
the hydrostat will immediately halt and the machine will thus stop.
For your information:
• Depending on the selected speed, there is still proportional regulation
within this setting using the Joystick. If, during certain conditions (loading/
unloading or parking), this does not provide the required speed, however, the
dynamic of the machine can be further influenced by reducing gas.
• If, in certain situations, 1 track begins to slip, this can be resolved by moving
the joystick to the same side as the slipping track. As a result, the brake will
be engaged, meaning that this track will not receive full power and that some
will go to the other track (differential function).
Cruise control
The AIO control lever is designed so that it returns to the neutral position by itself when it is
released; this then brings the machine to a halt.
If a set speed must be retained during movement, the AIO Joystick must therefore be
constantly held in a particular position. This means that the arm and wrist must be held in
the same position for long periods when working. This can lead to cramps or weariness. To
avoid this, a cruise control has been provided on the machine. (Read § 11.4.3.8 Setting cruise-
control). This function ensures that the Joystick movement becomes stiffer when going
forwards or backwards and does not return to the neutral position of its own accord. As a
result, the Joystick retains its position and allows the machine to continue at a fixed speed
without being actively operated.
Caution:
The use of this cruise-control function means that the operator must move the
AIO Joystick back to the neutral position if the dead man’s handle is released in
order to avoid the snow clearer immediately resuming this speed when started
again.
