3.8 Operation
Danger
–
The drive lever (2) always springs back to zero when
released; before each use of the machine, the drive lever
should be checked for smooth return to the zero position.
–
The components of the drive lever and return safety
device must not be hindered in their function by locking
or blocking, due to a risk of accident!
–
Set the engine speed lever to full power.
Attention
The engine speed should always be clearly below or above
the speed which the centrifugal clutch engages, otherwise
the clutch facings will slip and be damaged.
–
Select the desired direction and speed of travel using the
drive lever (2).
–
Guide and steer the machine using the tow-bar grip (4); the
operator walks alongside the tow-bar.
–
In order to halt the machine, move the drive lever to
„0“-position; the machine will remain stationary due to the
braking effect of the hydrostatic drive.
–
If the diesel engine is set to idle or switched off, the
multiple-disk brake is activated as a parking brake.
Danger
In emergency situations, the machine can be stopped by
releasing the drive lever.
–
The vibration can be switched on and off while the machine is
in motion.
