Operation
Driving
160 / 476
The cruise control is set at the speed of the drive pedal at the time at which the joy-
stick is pushed forward.
This speed is not necessarily the actual speed.
Example:
The currently driven speed is 11 km/h. The driver quickly presses the gas pedal to
the stop. The gas pedal sets the machine to maximum speed. The machine begins
to accelerate. In this moment, cruise control is switched on. Cruise control assumes
the speed set by the gas pedal (= maximum speed). If you would like to increase
the speed shortly during the drive, then you can override cruise control at any time
by pressing on the gas pedal. If you drive faster than set by cruise control, then
cruise control is switched on, but the effect of cruise control during driving can only
be detected when you reduce pressure on the gas pedal. When you release the gas
pedal, then the machine will continue to drive at the speed assumed by cruise control.
6.8.1.3.2 Switching off cruise control
Before switching off cruise control, you should always press down the gas pedal so far
until you are assuming the speed driven by cruise control. Thus, you prevent sudden
braking effect of the machine after switching off cruise control.
To switch off cruise control, shortly pull the right joystick fully back. Further options for
switching off cruise control are:
– Actuating the brake pedal
– Pressure on the foot switch driving direction
– Pressure on the emergency stop switch
– Engaging the parking brake
– Lift the left joystick console
6.8.2 Driving, "Turtle" operating mode
In operating mode Turtle, the traction drive is operated almost exclusively using the
keys (2) and (3) and the manual potentiometer (14) on the right joystick.
If driving forward is activated using the key (2), then the terminal displays the icon .
This key is used to switch on forward driving. Pressing this key again stops the traction
drive.
Switching off machine drive (yellow machine drive key (6)) also switches off the trac-
tion drive.
The driving speed (= feed speed) for loading operation is set using the hand poten-
tiometer (14).
