Each lever controls the respective track (right lever - right track, left lever - left track).
Move the lever FORWARDS to drive the platform forwards. Move the lever BACKWARDS
to drive in reverse.
You can work with one track at a time, depending on the movement required at that particular
moment.
Both movements comply with the maximum safety speeds allowed by the technical regulations
in force (point 5.3.1.11, EN280:2013).
The BIBI 850-BL platform has a track chassis with hydraulic engines and negative brakes on
the reduction gears on both tracks. This means that the vehicle remains blocked whenever
forward or reverse drive is interrupted.
To turn the platform, move the levers as indicated in the following illustrations.
