Operation of the hydrostatic single-axle tractor
•
The required travel speed is set on the rotary knob (Fig. 7.1, item 5).
The setting of the driving speed and the preselection of the direction of travel may only be
carried out when the single-axle tractor is at a standstill!
•
Use the throttle lever (Fig. 7.1, Pos. 7) to regulate the engine speed and thus also the driving
speed. Always try to drive with the lowest speed required, this protects material and the
environment.
•
The hydraulically driven attachment machine is switched on with the lever (Fig. 7.1, Pos. 3), which
is located below the right-hand grip. Jerky switch-on is prohibited, so u.a. Uncontrolled reactions
of the implement are avoided. The lever has a self-holding feature (Fig 7.1, Pos. 8), which can be
inserted at a longer duty cycle. The latching automatically disappears when the lever (Fig. 7.1,
Pos. 3) is pulled again.
•
The mechanically driven attachment machine is switched on with the lever (Fig.7.1, item 4) by a
gentle clockwise movement. Jerky switch-on is prohibited, so u.a. Uncontrolled reactions of the
implement are avoided.
•
Switching on the implement is only permitted on a free or already worked area!
•
It is not permitted to switch on the implement outside the working area!
•
Never operate the attachment when children or animals are in the work area.
•
If, when turning on the attachment, you notice that the tool is not turning up and you hear a noise
from slipping V-belts, you must switch off the attachment immediately. If the tool is engaged, the
initial torque is too high. If possible, switch on the machine without load. If necessary, check the
tension of the tension spring on the Bowden cable.
7.3 Switching off the internal combustion engine
•
Before switching off the internal combustion engine, make sure that the drive lever (Fig. 7.1, item
6) is in the recess and the lever for the mechanical drive (Fig. 7.1, item 4) is in the "off" position,
In addition, the lever (Fig. 7.1, Pos. 3) for the hydraulic power take-off may not be pulled by the
self-holding.
•
Place the throttle lever (Fig. 7.1, item 7) in the neutral position and allow the engine to idle for
approximately one ½ minute.
•
Turn the engine off switch located on the internal combustion engine to the "0" position.
•
Close the fuel tap
•
Secure the towing vehicle against unauthorized use and, if necessary, remove the ignition key.
•
When leaving, secure the device against rolling away, by using wheel chocks or, if necessary, by
applying the parking brake.
Tip
:
In case of prolonged downtime, do not stop the engine with the "Engine off switch", but close the
fuel cock and let the engine run until it comes to a standstill by itself. Thus, the carburettor is empty
and no gumming can occur. This procedure must not be carried out in confined spaces, otherwise
there is danger of
suffocation
. Basically, pay attention to adequate ventilation!
