• SOCKET FOR TROUBLE LIGHT (11)
The shown socket (11) can be used to feed a trouble light equipped with
connection for electric lighter. Use a 12 V and max. 40 W lamp.
• HAND BRAKE (37)
With engine running:
-
Turn the (37) selector towards right to engage hand brake (the selector lights)
- Turn the (37) selector towards left to release hand brake (the selector stop
lightening)
Whenever the engine stops, the parking brake remains engaged independently
from the selected condition.
The emergency pump (28) must be used only to release the parking brake
before towing the vehicle.
WARNING!
The machine is equipped with a reversing alarm system that activates an
intermittent audible warning signal if "F" or "R" drive is selected (20) when
the parking brake (37) is activated.
• LOCK OUT OF THE HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION (90)
Should the operator decide to get off the cab while the engine is still running and
the parking brake is not applied, the machine automatically enters a safe mode,
and locks out the hydrostatic transmission.
In order to use the hydrostatic transmission again to move the machine
forward/backward, the operator shall sit correctly in the driver's seat in the cab.
Should the operator decide to get off the cab while the diesel engine is still
running and the drive direction selector (20) is in position "F" or "R", the selector
(20) shall be shifted to neutral position "N" first and then in the desired direction
to restore the normal operation of the hydrostatic transmission.
Should the operator forget to apply the parking brake before getting off the cab, a
yellow intermittent light (90) will inform him/her of his/her oversight.
NOTE! For a safe and correct use of your machine, please note that
before getting off the cab you need to:
• shift the drive direction selector (20) to neutral position "N"
• apply the parking brake (37)
• switch off the diesel engine of your machine
• get off the cab and close the cab door.
The automatic lockout of the hydrostatic transmission described in this paragraph is to be considered an exception to
the rule.
