8.1.1 <Transport mode fast>
The travel speed is regulated using the accelerator. Max.
40 km/h
Note
In <Transport mode fast>, the traction of the vehicle is
50%; the maximum travel speed is at 100%. The speed fol-
lows the engine speed.
8.1.2 <Transport mode slow>
The travel speed is regulated using the accelerator. Maxi-
mum speed approx. 20 km/h
Note
In <Transport mode slow>, the traction of the vehicle is
100%; the maximum travel speed is at 50%. The speed fol-
lows the engine speed.
8.1.3 <Working mode>
Max. 20 km/h
Note
MIC 70: More information on the <Working mode> is given
in chapter 6.8 MIC 70 multifunction display / display .
MIC 50: The engine speed can be adjusted using the hand
throttle lever, irrespective of the travel speed. The acceler-
ator can be used to override the set engine speed.
8.1.4 <Creeping mode>
Forwards: Max. 5 km/h
Reverse: Max. 10 km/h
Note
MIC 70: More information on the <Creeping mode> is giv-
en in chapter 6.8 MIC 70 multifunction display / display .

8.2.1 Accelerator
ATTENTION
Other than in a normal motorcar, releasing the accelerator
pedal abruptly reduces the speed.
The braking force applied when you release the accelera-
tor pedal is weaker in higher gears and stronger in lower
gears.
The braking force applied when you release the accelera-
tor pedal in transport mode is significantly weaker than in
working mode.
Pressing the accelerator pedal increases the engine
speed.
The accelerator pedal is sprung. Releasing the accelerator
pedal reduces the engine speed.
The hydrostatic drive brakes or stops the vehicle when the
accelerator pedal is released.
