5.2.5 Starting
To start moving you must:
– Apply the parking brake
– Depress the accelerator (now the clutch starts to be engaged)
– Release the parking brake after the gear has engaged (motor sound changes).
Warning message when starting
When the load on starting is so high that it would cause the clutch to overheat,
a warning buzzer sounds. The warning message CL is also displayed.
• In this event immediately take your foot off the accelerator and apply the
service brake.
• Switch to the neutral position N and leave the vehicle engine running until the
clutch has cooled down and the CL warning message disappears.
• Select a lower starting gear.
• Start to move again.
H
If you do not release the accelerator, the gear is engaged automatically within a
few seconds. This can cause the engine to be throttled, or the wheels to spin.
Exception: Gears 1 and R are not engaged automatically. Be careful not to allow
the clutch to overheat.
H
In manoeuvring mode, the truck crane responds more sensitively to the
accelerator. The gear positions DM and RM are provided for manoeuvring;
à DM and RM transmission mode, p. 5 - 34.
G
Risk posed by unexpected rolling!
Also apply the parking brake before starting on sloping ground. The gear will be
engaged only once you depress the accelerator. This can lead to the truck crane
starting to move (perhaps backwards) whilst you are moving your foot from the
brake pedal to the accelerator.
S
Risk of clutch damage!
Always release the accelerator when the CL warning is shown. The clutch will
become overheated and damaged if you do not stop the starting procedure.
