PROFDRIVE 10-2WD / 12-2WDCOORDINATING THE TRACTIVE SPEEDSOF THE TRAILER AND TRACTOR1.2.3.Switch the pump on.Push the tractor with the trailer’s drive, with thetractive force adjusting wheel closed. If yourtractor’s power take-offcan be either 540 rpm or1000 rpm, it is better to choose 540 rpm.tractor.!CAUTION!If you use the power take-offat 1000 rpm, the axle revolutionsmust not exceed 740rpm. Check your tractor tosee what engine revolutionreading gives 740 rpm forpower take-off.Adjust the tractor speed to be slightly faster thanthe trailer’s drive.DRIVING!CAUTION!!CAUTION!!CAUTION!Do not drive at maximumspeed unless necessary.Driving at maximum speedoverloads the hydraulicsystem and structures. Thedrive will be unpleasant andcan be dangerous on bends.Avoid switching on thetrailer’s drive or changingthe driving direction whenthe transmission shaft’srevolutions are high, as thiscan cause a violent jerk.When the trailer’s drive isswitched on, do not tow thetrailer at speeds that exceedthe maximum for the pump’soutput: max. 4.8 km/h at apump output of 85 l/min.1.2.3.4.•••Select the appropriate driving speed for thetractor.Select the direction with the switch.If necessary, increase the tractive force usingthe adjusting wheel. Do not tow at full forceunless absolutely necessary; it will wear thehydraulics and structure, causes the driveto be unpleasant, and can be dangerous onbends.To switch off traction, turn the direction switchto idle.You can tell if the tractive force is too large fromthe vibration of the traction motor and from theclunking sounds it makes.Do not brake abruptly and forcefully; try tobrake softly.If using hydraulic shaft control, do not place anabrupt force on the pivot cylinders.DO NOT CHANGE THEDRIVING DIRECTION WHENTHE MACHINE IS IN MOTION!! The driving direction mayonly be changed when theCAUTION!machine is stationary.Changing the driving direction when themachine is in motion will damage the tractionmotors and tires.!CAUTION!Note that under prolonged,constant traction, thehydraulic oil will heat up.16
