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 accelerator ped-
al is weaker in higher gears and stronger in lower gears.
The braking force applied when you release the accelerator ped-
al 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 accel-
erator pedal is released.
8.2.2 Parking brake automatic
The warning light in the multifunction display lights up
when the parking brake is active.
1 If the engine has stopped or if the travel direction switch is at
NEUTRAL when the engine is running, then the parking brake
is activated automatically.
2 If the travel direction switch is pressed when the engine is run-
ning (FORWARDS or REVERSE), then the parking brake will
be released.
8.2.3 MIC 50 brake pedal
The brake pedal activates the braking system for the front
wheels.
8.2.4 MIC 70 brake pedal
The brake pedal activates the front and rear wheel braking sys-
tem.
8.2.5 Inching pedal
The inching pedal regulates the speed in WORKING MODE and
CREEPING MODE.
To decrease the travel speed, press the inching pedal.
Note
The inching pedal can also be used as a brake pedal; to do so,
step on the inching pedal to the floor.
