Enabling truck functions using the
foot switch and seat switch
The foot switch and seat switch are there
for safety purposes during operation of the
truck. The complete range of truck functions is
available only when the driver is sitting on the
driver’s seat and then actuates the foot switch.

Enabling the truck functions using the
foot switch
The truck’s drive function and hydraulic
functions are enabled only when the driver
actuates the foot switch (1). The left foot is
therefore protected within the contour of the
truck.
Trucks with one accelera
tor pedal
The hydraulic functions
are only enabled if:
• The seat switch and the foot switch have
been actuated
• The required hydraulic function is then
selected
• The switches are all fu
nctioning correctly
The drive function is o
nly enabled if:
• The parking brake has been released
• The seat switch and the foot switch have
been actuated but the accelerator pedal
has not
• The accelerator peda
l is then actuated
• The switches are all functioning correctly
If the switch malfunctions during operation,
the truck is braked to a standstill or to a speed
of 2.5 km/h, according to truck type, and
a corresponding message appears in the
display and operating unit.
NOTE
Once the truck has been switched on, the
parking brake must first be released one time.
The parking brake will only be released once
the accelerator pedal is activated slightly.
