Drive mode

6.1.1 Drive pedal
The accelerator pedal can be used to drive forwards and
backwards.
If the accelerator pedal is released, the hydrostatic drive of
the vehicle is delayed or stopped.
6.1.2

Parking brake

The parking brake acts on the rear wheels and uses a
sheathed cable. If the braking power starts to decline, it can
be readjusted on the lever with a setting screw. The brake
shoes should be replaced only by Customer Service.
6.1.3 Brake pedal
The brake pedal activates the brake system of the rear
wheels. The correct setting of the brakes takes place auto-
matically, no adjustment work is required.
