*ATTENTION: Due to construction design reasons the machine does not permit the disconnection of
the front axle drive – the hydraulic system is not equipped with a by-pass valve, which significantly
limits the option of moving the machine when the engine is not running. During such movement the front
axle is significantly overloaded and may be damaged. The by-pass lever on this machine is primarily
used to bleed the hydrostatic system.
The machine must not be used (gear shifted into drive) if the by-pass lever is in the disengaged position
- there is a danger of damage to the transmissions!!
