Starting
To start moving you must do the following:
– Apply the parking brake.
– Depress the accelerator (now the clutch starts to be engaged)
– Release the parking brake after the clutch is engaged (tone of the engine
changes)
Warning message when starting
When the load on starting is so high that it would cause the clutch to
overheat, a warning buzzer sounds. The symbol (
1 ) is also displayed.
•
In this event immediately take your foot off the accelerator and apply the
service brake.
•
Switch to the neutral position N and leave the engine running until the
clutch has cooled down and the symbol ( 1 ) is no longer shown on the
display.
•
Select a lower starting gear.
•
Start to move again.
G
Risk posed by unexpected rolling!
Also apply the parking brake before starting on sloping ground. The gear
will be engaged only once you depress the accelerator. This can lead to the
truck crane starting to move (perhaps backwards) whilst you are moving
your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator.
S
Risk of clutch damage
Always release the accelerator when the warning message is shown. The
clutch will become overheated and damaged if you do not stop the starting
procedure.
