Adjusting caterpillar track tension
• Place the machine on an even, paved surface (e.g. concrete or asphalt, etc.).
• Turn the engine off and take the key out of the ignition.
• First, partially loosen the 2 M10 locking bolts (spanner size 17).
• Then loosen the M10 lock nut (spanner size 17).
• The front guide wheel can now be moved forwards by turning the M10 control bolt (span
-
ner 17). This will tension the caterpillar track.
• Caution: you must always be able to depress the centre of the track (between guide wheel
and drive wheel) by x cm. If not, make the appropriate adjustments.
• Once the caterpillar track tension is set correctly, tighten the lock nut and the 2 locking
bolts.
• Repeat this process for the other
caterpillar track.

Setting cruise control
The joystick is designed so that it returns to the neutral position by itself when it is released;
this then brings the machine to a halt.
If a set speed must be retained during movement, the Joystick must therefore be constantly
held in a particular position. This means that the arm and wrist must be held in the same
position for long periods when working. This can lead to cramps or weariness. To avoid this,
a cruise control has been provided on the machine.
This function ensures that the Joystick movement becomes stiffer when going forwards or
backwards and does not return to the neutral position of its own accord. As a result, the
Joystick retains its position and allows the machine to continue at a fixed speed without be-
ing actively operated.
