ADJUSTMENT OF DRIVING POSITION
SERVICE BRAKE – PARKING BRAKE
The proper adjustment of the driving position provides a greater sense of comfort when using the
machine.
Correct position on the seat
: make sure you sit upright and that your back and that your lower back
and spine are at 90°.
Seat adjustment
: The seat should always be positioned using the pedals as a reference. To adjust
the seat use the lever (1) under it (
Fig.1
).
N.B.:
The distance should be adjusted so that with the pedals fully pressed to the floor the
knees are slightly bent (about 120°).
N.B.:
Adjust the distance of the seat so that when pressing the brake pedal it goes as far as it
can. This operation should be done with the machine running so as to pressurise the
braking system.
N.B.:
If the knee is not bent enough, it is too far from the steering wheel, if however the knee
is bent almost 90°then it is too close to the steering wheel.
N.B.:
The feet should be positioned keeping the heels on the footrest, the sole of the foot
directly below the fingers should push the pedals.
Steering wheel adjustment:
the inclination of the steering wheel should be adjusted so that you can
grip it comfortably.
N.B.:
To adjust the steering wheel, use the lever (2) on it (
Fig.2
).
N.B.:
The ideal position is that which allows you to grip it with the palms slightly lower than the
shoulders. With a good grip on the steering wheel, the elbows should be bent by about
120°. They should be at least 30 cm between the middle of the steering wheel and our
breastbone. In any case, this distance should be no more than 45 cm.
N.B.:
After carrying out the adjustment make sure to tighten the lever.
The machine has a service brake pedal (1), to be used to stop the machine when required (
Fig.1
).
N.B.:
Pressing the service brake (1) the red rear lights become brighter to indicate that the
service brake has been pressed.
The machine has a parking brake lever (2), to be used to stop the machine when it is parked (
Fig.1
).
N.B.:
There is a symbol (3) on the command display that indicates whether the parking brake
is engaged or not (
Fig.2
). When the symbol (3) is visible it means the parking brake is
engaged.
ATTENTION:
There is an alarm symbol (4) on the command display that indicates that the
level of oil in the braking system is low (
Fig.2
). When the symbol (4) is visible it means
that the oil level is low, stop the machine and contact a COMAC service centre.
ATTENTION:
With the parking brake engaged the forward and reverse gears are disabled,
pressing the drive pedal the machine does not move.
At the end of the work, and before carrying out any type of maintenance, perform the following operations:
1.
Select the i-drive program “transport” by rotating the knob (1) to position “A” as shown in (

the symbol that identifies the traction motor.
2. Take the machine to the maintenance area.
NOTE
