6.10.4Setting the lowering speed of the front power lift
Rotary knob, lowering speed
1
1. Switch off the PTO (working hydraulics).
2. Select the front power lift lowering speed using the rota-
ry knob.
a Turning clockwise: The lowering speed is reduced.
The front power lift is blocked at the limit stop
Note: This function is needed for transport journeys
on public roads in order to disable the front power lift
and thus the lowering of the attachments.
b Turning anticlockwise: The lowering speed is in-
creased
6.10.5Attachment release and vibration dampening
(optional)
The attachment release is used in order to move the load
from one attachment fitted on the front power lift towards
the vehicle's front axle.
For example: If a mower deck is being used, the forces in
the ground are reduced by the mower deck in order to re-
duce damage to the ground due to the wheels spinning;
especially when driving uphill.
Note
If the attachment is raised whilst the attachment release
system is switched on, it will act like a load stabilisation
system when driving.
Vibration dampening (optional) ensures a more comfort-
able and stable drive during transport journeys with a
raised attachment on the front power lift.
Rotary knob for attachment release

1. Switch on the attachment release system using the
switch (on the centre console).
2. Change the shift in the centre of gravity using the attach-
ment release rotary knob.
a Turning clockwise: More weight on the front axle
b Turning anticlockwise: Less weight on the front axle

Safety check

DANGER
Risk of accidents and injuries!
Do not start up the vehicle when one item of the safety
check is not fulfilled; make sure the item is repaired.
Check the operational and traffic safety of the vehicle be-
fore driving.
1. Check the cleanliness of the hydraulic couplings
2. Check the hydraulic lines for leaks
3. Check the hydraulic oil level
4. Check the engine oil level
5. Check the coolant level
6. Check the coolant for sufficient antifreeze if a danger of
frost exists
Antifreeze in the appropriate concentration generally
belongs in the cooling circuit (not in the expansion res-
ervoir).
7. Check the electrical cables for damage
8. Check that all nuts and bolts are securely seated
9. Check the vehicle, engine and radiator grille for damage
10.Check the fluid level in the wiping water container
Check the detergent and frost protection, if applicable
11.Check the tyres for damage, filling pressure and wear
and tear
In the vehicle
12.Check all pedals for ease of movement
13.Are the working hydraulics (PTO) switched off?
