Hill assist
NOTE!
Hill assist-function (help when starting on a grade) is an assisting
function and requires the operator's full attention when used. Hill
assist does not relieve operators of the responsibility of operating
the machine in a safe way. The operator may not leave the
operator's seat with Hill assist applied.
At activation of Hill assist the wheel brakes are activated and
enable the machine to stand still on an uphill grade, and then to
continue or change travel direction.
To activate Hill assist the machine must be at a standstill and the
grade of the hill has to exceed 10%. Hill assist can be activated
regardless of if the machine is operated forward or is reversing up
a grade.
NOTE!
In case of malfunction of the Hill assist-function, stop the machine
immediately and contact a qualified workshop.
Using Hill assist
1 Release the accelerator pedal.
2 Brake the machine to a complete standstill.
3 Let up the brake.
The machine remains stationary until the gear selector is moved
to neutral position or the accelerator pedal is pressed.
NOTE!
When changing travel direction, press the brake pedal before the
gear selector is moved to neutral. Otherwise the machine may
start to roll.
