If Field Mode is selected, moving the Joystick forward will drive the machine forward. The further forward the
Joystick is pushed, the faster the machine will travel but is limited by the set Engine RPM.
If Road Mode is selected the engine RPM remains at idle until the Joystick is moved (or the optional Travel
Pedal is pressed). On a 4000 sprayer the engine RPM increases and the machine will pull away with the wheel
motors in half displacement until the maximum speed of 40kph is reached. A 5500 sprayer automatically
changes displacement until the maximum speed is reached.
If the joystick is returned to neutral, the sprayer will stop. The quicker the Joystick is moved, the quicker the
response, whether it be acceleration or braking. Care must be taken not to induce skidding by moving the
Joystick too rapidly.
If greater braking is required, than the joystick provides, then the Brake Pedal can be depressed (if fitted). This
will provide braking torque on the front wheels (Horizon 4000) or all four wheels (Horizon 5500) as well as the
hydrostatic braking. After using the foot brake, the Joystick must be returned to the corresponding braked
speed before the machine will accelerate.
Moving the joystick backwards drives the machine in reverse and the same rules apply.
If the optional Travel Pedal is fitted and selected, then the joystick has to be moved fully forward or backward in
the first instance in order to dictate the direction of travel.
The engine can only be started with the joystick in neutral.
