3 DESCRIPTION
3.1 DRIVE
The machine has front-wheel drive.
Front-mounted implements are powered via drive
belts.
3.2 STEERING
The machine has rear-wheel steering. The rear-
wheel steering means that the machine can easily
turn around trees and other obstacles. Steering is
controlled via a wire or wire-chain.
3.3 SAFETY SYSTEM
The machine is equipped with an electrical safety
system. The safety system interrupts certain activ-
ities that can entail a danger of incorrect manoeu-
vres.
For example, the engine can only be started if the
clutch-parking brake pedal is depressed.
The operation of the safety system must
always be checked every time before
use.
3.4 CONTROLS
3.4.1 Implement lifter, mechanical (6:P)
To switch between working position and transport
position:
1. Depress the pedal fully.
2. Release the pedal slowly.
3.4.2 Service brake - Clutch - Parking
brake (6:M) (MAN)
A pedal that combines both service brake and
clutch. There are 3 positions:
1. Pedal released – forward
drive engaged. The machine will
move if a gear is engaged.
Service brake not activated.
2. Pedal depressed halfway – forward drive
disengaged, gear shifting can be performed.
Service brake not activated.
3. Pedal fully depressed – forward drive
disengaged. Service brake fully activated.
NOTE! You must never regulate the operating
speed by slipping the clutch. Use a suitable gear
instead, so that the right speed is obtained.

ENGLISH
3.4.3 Clutch-parking brake (6:M) (HST)
Never press the pedal while driving.
There is a risk of overheating in the
power transmission.
• Depressed halfway. Forward drive disengaged.
The parking brake is not activated.
• Fully depressed. Forward drive disengaged.
The parking brake is fully activated but not
locked. This position is also used as emergency
brake.
3.4.4 Inhibitor, parking brake (6:N)
The inhibitor locks the "clutch-brake"
pedal in the depressed position. This
function is used to lock the machine on
slopes, during transport, etc., when the
engine is not running.
The parking brake must always be
released during operation.
Locking:
1. Depress the pedal (6:M) fully.
2. Move the inhibitor (6:N) to the right.
3. Release the pedal.
4. Release the inhibitor.
Unlocking:
Press and release the pedal.
3.4.5 Throttle and choke control (7:T)
A control for setting the engine speed and to choke
the engine when starting from cold.
If the engine runs unevenly there is a
risk that the control is too far forward
so that the choke is activated. This
damages the engine, increases fuel
consumption and is harmful to the
environment.
1. Choke – for starting a cold engine. The
choke position is located at the front of the
groove.
Do not operate in this position when the
engine is warm.
2. Full throttle – when the machine is in
operation, full throttle should always be
used.
The full throttle position is approximately
2 cm behind the choke position.
3. Idling.
The pedal has the following
three positions:
•Released. The clutch is not
activated. The parking brake is
not activated.
