3.3.3 Direction switch
Accident hazard due to improper operation of the direction switch!
Never operate the direction switch while driving. The wheel loader immediately travels in the opposite direction
without warning. Use the switch only according to the instructions! Only change the direction of travel and the gears
when the loader is stationary. Caution when driving in snow and ice – the driving speed must be greatly reduced in
adverse weather conditions!
When driving downhill, never reduce driving speed on the gradient, but always before the gradient! Do not rest your
feet on the brake inching pedal.
Check the "driving lock" regularly. Stop the journey immediately if you notice a malfunction in the drive, steering or
brakes! Only bring the wheel loader back into operation after the fault has been rectified.
3.3.4 Differential lock
The Eurotrac W13 is equipped with a differential lock (locks all 4
wheels).
It may only be used on very soft ground when the wheel loader is
bogged in.
The lock may not be used on a solid surface. Severe axle damage
occurs even when steering on solid ground with the differential lock
engaged.
If the wheel loader is equipped with the "reversing warning signal" optional extra, a warning tone sounds when the
reverse gear is engaged. The sound aims to warn people who are near the wheel loader when reversing.
