Travelling and braking
The machine is move forward as follows :
• Fold away the gangway (if equipped).
• Turn the speed selector to exit the parking brake.
• Increase the engine speed if the speed selector is in FIELDS mode
(Fields - Fields Uphill or Fields Downhill).
• Push the grip to move ahead or backwards to reverse the machine.
• Pull the grip towards neutral to make the machine brake
(hydrostatic braking). The machine comes to a complete stop
when the grip is in neutral position.
• Gradually press the brake pedal (1)
The system will respond in order to achieve the best braking
performance. If the brake is applied until the machine comes to a
complete stop, in order to move again you should pull the grip into
neutral, then push it or pull it to start again in forward or reverse gear.
If the brake is applied slightly, i.e. without the machine coming to a
complete stop, the speed will be reduced. As soon as the brake pedal is
released, the machine will accelerate again to reach the travel speed
corresponding to the position of the grip.
