OPERATION AND USE
id.: DB 260 REV. 00 01/07/2015
It is unadvisable to leave the engine running at idle speed for too long.
Therefore, if you can foresee that the engine will be running at idle speed for a long period of time, always turn
it off.
Nonetheless, if you need to keep the engine running, make sure that the engine speed is suffi cient to supply
the necessary engine oil pressure, indicated by the relative warning light on the instrument panel turning off.
4.3.8 ENGINE OPERATION AT LOW RPM
4.3.9 ADJUSTING WHEEL ALIGNMENT
CAUTION: When the engine is turned on, the parking brake automatically disengages if the button (1)
is released.
The next time the vehicle is turned off the parking brake automatically engages because
the residual pressure is cancelled out.
Do not use the parking brake to slow down the vehicle, except in emergencies, as
the vehicle would stop suddenly reducing the effi ciency of the brake.
To disengage it, turn the button ( 1 ) and release it.
For temporary stops on slopes or where necessary engage the parking brake by pressing the button ( 1 ).
To release the brake in the event of a braking system failure, see chapter 4.5.1.
4.3.10 PARKING BRAKE (fi g. 19)
DANGER:
CAUTION: The steering must be selected with the machine stationary.
Whenever you drive on the road or for long stretches, it is essential to check proper alignment of the four
wheels to prevent running into translation problems.
To align the four wheels, operate as follows:
Turn the steering wheel to move the rear wheels into a straight line with the vehicle.
Shift the selection lever to the “ 2 RS ” position and use the steering wheel to align the front wheels with the
rear ones (visually check).
Select the type of steering based on the type of translation to be performed with the vehicle.
After this procedure the steering will be synchronized.
During translation with “ 2 RS ” the rear wheels remain in fi xed position thanks to a check valve.
