6.1.3
Brake pedal
The brake pedal activates the brake system of the rear
wheels. The correct setting of the brakes takes place auto-
matically, no adjustment work is required.
Actuation takes place hydraulically, therefore always make
sure that there is a sufficient amount of brake fluid in the
storage tank.
1 Gas withdrawal valve
Open the gas drawing valve by turning it in anti-clock-
wise direction.
At ambient temperatures below 0°C (32 °F): Allow the
motor to warm up at a low motor speed before begin-
ning work.
Note
If the motor does not start, repeat the start-up process.
6.1.6.3
Driving method
The travel speed is steplessly regulated with the accel-
–
erator pedal.
Avoid sudden operation of the accelerator pedal as this
–
may damage the hydraulic system.
6.1.6.4
Braking / stopping
Release the drive pedal, the machine brakes automat-
ically and stops.
For a stronger braking effect or in case of an emergen-
