4.8 Driving, steering and braking
4.8.1 Driving
When driving on public roads, the wheel
loader, as a self-propelled work machine,
is subject to the legal regulations valid in
the user's country. (For example, in the
Federal Republic of Germany, StVZO
and StVO).
The machine has two preselection
switches for travel direction, which are
alternately active.
These are changed via the multi-function
switch (16/35).
One preselection switch for travel
direction (16/36) is located on the
instrument panel and another such
switch on the joystick (16/8) for
controlling the working hydraulics.
The multi-function switch (16/35) is
only to be pressed if the machine is at
a standstill and both travel direction
preselection switches are in neutral
position. If the two direction-of-travel
preselection switches are pressed in a
contradictory manner, the machine stops.
When driving on roads, the joystick
(16/8) for the working equipment must be
deactivated via the multi-function switch
(16/35).
This also deactivates the travel direction
preselection switch on the joystick (16/8).
The direction of travel is preselected
using the switch (16/36) on the
instrument panel.
In working operation, the joystick (16/8)
for the working equipment must be
activated via the multi-function switch
(16/35).
This also deactivates the switch (16/36)
on the instrument panel.
The direction of travel is preselected
using the travel direction preselection
switch on the joystick (16/8).
Drive carefully down gradients at a
moderate speed. Do not press
accelerator pedal fully down.
Reduce travel speed before switching
from hydraulic high-speed gear to
hydraulic low-speed gear.
The machine must be stopped before
switching from mechanical gear speed 2
to mechanical gear speed 1.
