i INFORMATION
The machine (CT 230 only) has a safety system to prevent it tipping over. This
reduces the speed on bends, irrespective of the pressure exerted on the machine
movement pedal. This reduction of speed on bends is therefore not a malfunction,
but a feature which increases the machine's stability in all conditions.
