WARNING
If a malfunction occurs when in hydrostatic
drive mode, the power transmission to the
driven wheels is interrupted and the vehicle
coasts to a stop. On an uphill or downhill gra-
dient, the vehicle could roll away. People in
the vehicle's area of danger could be run over
or could collide with equipment mounted on
the vehicle. There is a risk of serious or even
fatal injuries.
Before starting work, make sure that no per-
sons are in the area of danger.
Depress the brake pedal immediately in the
event of a malfunction and secure the vehicle
with the parking brake. On an uphill or down-
hill gradient, a wheel chock may additionally
be required. If fuel leaks out, set the vehicle in
motion. Consult a qualified specialist work-
shop immediately.

Environmental note
The hydrostatic drive system is particularly
suitable for slow work trips. Avoid using the
hydrostatic drive system at high speeds. This
reduces fuel consumption and therefore
actively contributes to protection of the envi-
ronment.
