3.1 Track control and driving
Driving controls are all situated on the engine cover and operated while at the
machine front or standing on the fold down foot plate.
The two outer levers control track rotation direction and speed. When used equally
together, this gives forward and reverse and speed increase with greater lever
movement. Steering is by using the levers in differing proportions, in opposition or
each on their own. Both levers used in extreme opposition will cause the machine to
spin on its axis.
Avoid driving on ground too soft to support the machine’s weight.
Take great care when driving on inclined ground as there is a risk of the machine
toppling. This is most likely when turning or crossing the incline, try to avoid these
manoeuvres. Do not drive on ground with an incline in excess of 20°.
Make sure the engine and hydraulic oil are warm before working on inclined ground.
If the machine has to be stopped on an incline, make sure that the machine is
pointing either up or down the slope. Also chock both tracks at the downhill end.
