Operation
Driving
The cruise control assumes the speed set by the drive pedal at the moment the key
(10) is pressed.
This speed is not necessarily the actual speed.
Example:
The currently driven speed is 11 km/h. The driver quickly presses the drive pedal to
the end-stop. The drive 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 drive 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 drive 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 drive pedal. When you release the drive
pedal, then the machine will continue to drive at the speed assumed by cruise control.
6.9.1.3.2 Switching off cruise control
Before switching off cruise control, you should always press down the drive pedal so
far until you are assuming the speed driven by cruise control. Thus, you prevent sud-
den braking effect of the machine after switching off the cruise control.
To switch off the cruise control, pull briefly the right joystick fully back or press the key
(10) on the right joystick. Further options for switching off cruise control are:
– Actuate the brake pedal
– Press the foot switch driving direction
– Press the emergency stop switch
– By engage the parking brake
– Lift the left joystick console
