Braking
For engine braking downhill, apply alittle throttle. This will cause the variator plate in the engine to engage with the variator belt. If the
engine is left operating at idling speed, the variator will not engage with the belt and the machine will remain in neutral.
WARNING! If engine braking is insucient, operate the service brake with your left foot for additional braking.
Parking instructions
Apply the parking brake to ensure the machine cannot move inadvertently, then switch o the main power switch and remove the
ignition key from the ignition switch.
WARNING! The parking brake wire is interlocked with the operator seat. When the parking brake is applied with the operator
seat in the rearward position, be sure to apply it further when swivelling the chair back to the normal position. If the seat is
turned from its normal position to the rearward position with the parking brake applied, the parking brake will be applied even
further causing unnecessary wear of the wire.
Park the machine on level, solid ground. If necessary, put chocks under the wheels. In order to relieve the hydraulic system
and to secure the crane against accidental movement, always make sure that the parked crane is set to its lowest position and
locked with the gripper at the rear section of the timber carrier. See the picturein chapter 1.7
