2 - BRAKE PEDALS
WARNING
q
The brake pedals must always be connected when the
3
rd
or 4
th
gear is engaged and when the machine travels
on roads.
q
Non-compliance with this rule may result in serious ac-
cidents.
The machine is provided with two split brake pedals that make
it possible to turn sharply in small work areas with many obsta-
cles; with the right pedal it is possible to make sharp turns to
the right, with the left pedal it is possible to make sharp turns
to the left.
When the pedals (2) are used individually, reduce the speed
and keep the bucket as low as possible. The pedals must al-
ways be connected with each other by means of the connec-
tion pin (A) when the high gears are engaged and when the
machine travels on roads.
IMPORTANT
q
When the machine is running at high speed and only
with the 4th gear engaged, the braking power is in-
creased with the automatic engagement of the four-
wheel drive.
3 - ACCELERATOR
Use the accelerator with care, especially when the machine is
under strain or is working in difficult conditions. Avoiding use-
less accelerations means reducing consumption and extend-
ing the service life of both the engine and the machine.
