17.13 Behaviour when driving downhill
NOTE
The permissible maximum speed of 40 km/h must also be observed when driving downhill!
On a steep incline, the driver has the option of reducing the driving speed using the multi-
function lever or by actuating the service brake.
In this case, the multi-function lever should be used first, as it triggers purely hydrostatic
braking.
The service brake initially uses hydrostatic braking but supplements this with mechanical
braking.
If braking is effected using the brake pedal only, there is a risk of overheating.
17.14 Towing
Impact and crush hazard due to an out-of-control machine!
If the machine is towed over prolonged distances, there is a risk that the driver will lose control
of the machine due to the increased steering and braking forces.
• Tow the machine out of the danger zone only and never tow over prolonged distances.
• Note that steering and braking forces are increased when the diesel engine is stationary.
Damage to the machine due to incorrect operation!
If the machine is not towed correctly, power transmission components or the diesel engine may
be damaged.
• Do not tow the machine from the danger zone unless absolutely essential.
• Tow the machine by pushing it with the attached tow bar only.
• Tow the machine at maximum 8 km/h and for not longer than 45 min.
