1 Load cylinder
With the help of the load cylinder, which is located
between the tractor and the trailer, it is possible to
adjust the position of the front of the tractor de-
pending on different situations. The load cylinder
is operated with a lever to the left on the dash-
board.
Position 1: The lever pushed upwards = the tractor
‘moves freely’, i.e., the tractor can freely follow
the terrain. It is recommended that this position
should always be used.
N.B. Spring-loaded locking of the lever in this position!
Position 2: The lever in the mid-position, with
spring loading in the centred position = ‘locked
position’. The position of the tractor in relation to
the trailer is locked. It is recommended that this
position should only be used during driving in
loose snow without any track or when the tractor
is driven over a ditch or the like.
Position 3: When the lever is moved forwards, the
front of the tractor is lowered. The lever returns
with spring loading to the ‘locked position’ (2),
when it is released.
CAUTION! Do not turn sharply when the front of
the machine is lowered.
Position 4: When the lever is moved downwards,
the front of the tractor is raised. The lever returns
with spring loading to the ‘locked position’ (2),
when it is released.
Practical example: Driving over a ditch of normal
size:
•Raise the front slightly when approaching the ditch.
•Lower the front before the tractor’s bogie has com-
pletely crossed the ditch so that the front of the bogie
touches the ground on the other side of the ditch.
•Drive the vehicle with the load cylinder in the
locked position until the trailer wheels have
crossed the ditch.
•Continue to drive the vehicle with the load cylin-
der in the ‘free position’.
2 Differential lock
The tractor’s gearbox is provided with a mechani-
cal differential lock, which is controlled with a
lever on the dashboard. When the lever is in its
lowest position, the differential lock is disengaged.
