4 Travel levers and pedals
The travel levers (A) and pedals (B) are used to
move and stop the machine. The distance the travel
levers and pedals are pushed or pressed,
determines the travel speed of the machine.
The more the levers and pedals are pushed, pulled
or pressed towards their end positions, the faster
the machine moves, provided that high travel speed
(C) is selected with high engine speed control
switch (D).
NOTICE
In this Operator’s Manual front, forward, rear,
rearward, right and left are based on the premiss
that the sprockets are placed behind the cab. Pay
attention to this before control levers and pedals are
used.
NOTE!
Keep your feet off the travel pedals when digging.
Unexpected movements may otherwise occur.
If you want to travel the machine continuously, keep
in mind below operating conditions.
