  • Page 168: Driving

    Operation Driving Driving Electronic control relieves the driver and lightens the load on the environment by auto- motive driving. Automotive driving means that the driving speed is preselected by the pressure on the gas pedal. The electronics controls the hydrostatic drive and the diesel engine so that the preselected speed is always driven at the lowest possible engine rotational speed, independent on the fact whether you are driving uphill or downhill.
  • Page 169 Operation Driving Hydrostatic drives are deemed very safe. The following measure additionally increases this safety, if there should be any operating faults of the drive. If, when releasing the driving pedal, the machine should neither reduce driving speed nor stand still, then a safety circuit is activated by engaging the parking brake (39). This safety circuit bypasses the standard control behaviour of the hydraulic system and opens a safety valve that quickly shuts off the traction drive.
