Operation
3.5.4 Moving off
Caution!
Make sure you have released the parking brake - driving with
the parking brake applied overheats the parking brake and
causes its failure!
After starting the engine:
Select drive mode with switch 92
Select driving direct and maximum speed on drive lever 67
Release parking brake with parking brake lever 63
Warning light 87 goes off
Slowly press accelerator pedal 55
Test the brakes at low speed
Always warm the engine up before running it under full load
Important!
The vehicle starts to move only when the operator is sitting on the
operator's seat (seat contact switch)
3.5.5 Driving
The driving speed can be continuously adjusted with accelerator pedal 55 .
Depending on the tyres, the maximum speed on even ground is reached
at engine revolutions of 2700 to 2900 rpm. This means that after the acce-
leration phase, accelerator pedal 55 can be released somewhat when dri-
ving on level ground without reducing the driving speed.
This actively contributes to noise reduction as well as reduction of the fuel
consumption.
To achieve maximum acceleration or the maximum speed when driving
on an incline, full throttle must be used so that the diesel engine operates
at its rated horsepower at approx. 3100 rpm.
Caution!
If the hydraulic oil temperatures are below 10°C, the diesel
revolutions are limited by the drive control to prevent damage to
the hydraulic pumps.
When the pressure filter of the hydraulic pump is soiled (warning
message in the multifunction display), the hydraulic pump no
longer delivers the full flow rate and the vehicle no longer
achieves its full maximum speed.
