3.4.7
Handling and braking the vehicle
Observe the following points when driving:
• Driving speed and braking of the machine are controlled via the accelerator
pedal.
• When releasing the accelerator pedal, the engine brake is activated
automatically. This also applies to slopes and when driving downhill.
• Stop the machine: Release the accelerator pedal.
• When the machine is at standstill, the parking brake is activated audibly. It
is no longer possible to push the machine, see section 3.4.8.
Overload protection
In case of an overload, e.g. excessively steep slopes, the drive motor is
switched off after a certain period of time.
• Let the machine cool down for approx. 15 minutes.
• Restart the machine.
Note
Set the key switch to ‘0’ to immediately disable all the functions.
Danger
• Danger of tilting over when driving on excessively steep slopes
Transport journeys on slopes of up to 10 % must only be
executed for 1 minute and with special caution.
• Risk of skidding when driving on wet surfaces.
Drive very carefully into the bend when driving downhill.
