Operation
Operating Tips
The flow divider kit splits the traction flow between the
front and rear wheels. This will require both a front and
a rear tire to spin before the machine loses traction.
Use the following information to best operate the
machine with the flow divider kit installed:
•
The flow divider kit is for use in the low-speed
range only. The system does not allow it to operate
in the high-speed range.
•
If both a front wheel and a rear wheel spin, it may
be helpful to use the steering brakes. Apply the
brake pedal corresponding to the spinning front
wheel in order to transfer torque to the wheel that
still has traction.
This flow divider kit evenly splits traction flow between
the front and rear wheel motors. This means that
both a front and a rear tire will need to spin before
the machine loses traction.
Note:
When the flow divider is active, the traction
system performance is more aggressive, particularly
while the machine is turning. Be careful and practice
operation in an inconspicuous area to understand
traction performance on your machine.
The 2 optional installations have slightly different
operational characteristics:
•
Automatic Flow Divider Option: The flow divider
is ALWAYS active when the machine is driving
forward. There are no electronics or switches
involved.
•
Manually-activated Flow Divider Option: A switch
is installed on the operator control panel. When
not manually-activated, the traction behavior is
identical to a machine without a flow divider. The
operator can engage the switch when desired,
activating the flow divider, evenly splitting flow
between the front and rear traction motors while
the machine is driving forward.
Note:
The manually-activated option is only functional
when the machine is in the LOW speed range.
The high-low speed control switch on the machine
must be in the LOW setting for the flow divider to
activate.
