Operation

Special instructions for operating on public roads

The machine is subject to the:

• Applicable legal regulations of your country

Also observe the applicable regulations for accident prevention of your country.

Traveling operation

Important!

The machine will not travel unless the left-hand side control lever is folded down.

After starting the engine:

The alternator charge indicator light goes out.

Press the drive pedal slowly.

Machine moves off.

Drive levers

Important!

Possible loss of machine control. Rotating through 180° (stabilizer blade now at 
the rear) inverts the drive lever functions.

• Confirm the location of the stabilizer with respect to the operator station 

and compensate before attempting to move the machine.

The stabilizer blade side is the front side.
Raise the bucket and the stabilizer blade.
The machine can be moved either with the drive levers or with the pedals. Lock the upper 
carriage when travelling over longer distances.

Forward or reverse drive speed depends on the position of the drive levers or drive pedals.

Important!

Make sure both tracks move as you change direction, otherwise the tracks are 
subject to increased abrasion.
