Cruise Control
Cruise Control
Cruise control is a standard feature that allows machine to automatically adjust ground drive speed
according to digging conditions. In easier soil conditions, ground drive speed will increase. When machine
encounters difficult soil conditions, ground drive speed will decrease.
Microtrenching
1. Ensure ground drive is in neutral.
2. Ensure ground drive is set to low.
3. Ensure cruise control is off.
4. Set cruise control dial to 2350 RPM or higher.
5. Turn cruise control on.
6. Following procedures in “Microtrench” on page 103, begin trenching to desired depth.
7. When desired depth is reached, set to high throttle.
8. Slowly drive forward.
9. Slowly adjust cruise control speed dial to match digging conditions.
10. When finished microtrenching, return controls to neutral.
11. Turn cruise control off.
12. Allow chain to dig itself free before stopping attachment.
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN:
Turn ignition switch off.
IMPORTANT:
When cruise control is active, ground drive system is interlocked with attachment.
• Ground drive will not begin moving if attachment is not moving.
• Ground drive will stop if operator stops attachment. If attachment is restarted, ground drive will
restart, as long as ground drive control is in forward position.
• If ground drive is stopped for more than 15 seconds due to attachment being stopped, operator
must set ground drive control to neutral before it can be used again.
• Attachment interlock does not apply to plow attachments.
