INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
(3) Translation speed selector
q When loading and unloading the machine onto and off a trailer, always manoeuvre at low speed (Lo).
Never operate the translation speed selector while the machine is moving.
q Attempting to change the speed setting when in motion may cause the machine to veer to one side.
Always stop the machine before changing the translation speed.
q There is a blind spot behind the machine. Always ensure that the area behind the machine is
unobstructed before reversing.
This button (3) chooses from 2 possible translation speeds.
q Lo indicator lit: Low speed translation
q Hi indicator lit: High speed translation
Upon engine start, the speed is automatically set to Lo.
Pressing the button causes the state of the indicator to toggle
between Lo and Hi g.
If more translation power is required when operating at Hi
speed, such as when working on loose soil or on steep
gradients, Lo speed is automatically selected without the
operator pressing the button. The indicator on the monitor,
however, continues to display Hi.
REMARK
Every time the translation speed selector (3) is pressed, the
corresponding mode is displayed on the monitor, which then
returns to the standard screen after two seconds.
