ENG 16 COMMANDS AND CONTROL INSTRUMENTS
➤ For hydrostatic drive models:
21. BRAKE PEDAL
In hydrostatically driven models
this pedal is solely for braking
and works on the rear wheels.
22. SPEED CHANGE LEVER
This lever engages drive to the
wheels and changes the
machine’s forward and reverse
speed.
The machine’s forward speed
gradually increases by moving
the lever towards «F». Reverse
is engaged by moving the lever to
«R».
When the brake pedal (21) is
pressed the lever automatically
returns to the «N» (neutral) position. It can also be
moved there manually even without pressing the
brake.
IMPORTANT When the parking brake (3) is engaged the speed change
lever is locked in the «N» position and cannot be moved until the parking
brake and the pedal have been released.
23. LEVER TO RELEASE THE HYDROSTATIC DRIVE
This lever has two positions shown on the plate:
Position «A» = Drive engaged: for all operating conditions, when moving and
during cutting;
Position «B» = Drive released: considerably reduces the effort required for
moving the machine manually, when the engine is not running.
IMPORTANT To avoid damaging the transmission unit, this operation
must be carried out only when the engine has stopped with the lever (22) at
position “N”.
To avoid damaging the transmission unit, DO NOT START the engine with
the release lever in position “B”.
