driving.
Non-observance of this instruction can lead to death or
serious injury.
During travel of the machine, the driver must have his 1

Seat cross travel
• After raising the lever (4), it is possible to move the seat in
the cross direction to the left and right.
Seat switch
The seat switch is located in the seat cushion.
If the driver is not sitting on the seat, the seat switch is deactivat-
ed and the operation of the machine is restricted in one of the
following ways – blocking of engine start, blocking of moving
off, stopping of the machine or switching off the engine.
These restrictions vary depending on:
• the time period for which the seat switch is deactivated,
• the position of the travel control (if it is in the parking brake
“P” position or outside this position)
Engine start blocking
If the driver is not sitting on the seat, engine start is blocked un-
less the travel control is in the parking brake position (P).
To enable engine start, set the travel control to the parking
brake position (P).

OPERATING MANUAL
2.7.2 Drive and reverse drive
Before moving off, check that the articulation joint of the machine is locked.
Use the warning horn to signal that the engine is starting and wait long enough so that all persons could leave the area
around the machine or under the machine in time!
Before moving off, check that the area in front of and behind the machine is empty and that there are no persons or
obstructions there!
The operator must not control the machine from the ground. If he did so anyway and is not sitting on the seat when
the travel control is moved from the parking brake position (P), the machine does not disengage the brake and will not
move, and after 5 seconds the engine will be stopped.
The operator must not leave the operator seat when operating the machine. If he does so anyway and leaves the seat
when the travel control is in deflected form the parking brake position (P), the machine behaves according to the seat
switch description (Chapter 2.6).
Engine speed
The engine speed is set automatically by moving the travel control (11).
• Idle engine speed (D)
- Parking brake position (P)
- Neutral position (N)
• Increased engine speed (C)
- Zero position (0)
- Forward travel (F)
- Reverse travel (R)
Selection of the travel direction
• Selection of the travel direction is set on the active travel control. Set and leave the inactive travel control in the parking brake
position (P).
• Start the engine.
• Move the travel control (11) from the parking brake (P) to the neutral position (N) – releasing of the brakes, the parking brake indi-
cator lamp (30) goes out. The engine idle speed is set.
• Move the travel control (11) to the position (0) and select a travel direction (F/R). The engine working speed is set.
When the driver releases the travel control (11), it does not return to the zero position automatically. The travel control remains in the
selected position.
When the driver quickly moves the travel control (11) through the zero position (0) from the selected direction of the machine travel,
e.g. due to a dangerous situation, the machine stops and the parking brake is engaged (panic response).
