INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
6. Travel levers
NOTE
The travel pedals indicated in the figure are optional and are
q
supplied only upon request.
Before carrying out any manoeuvre with these levers, the
q
operator must seat in the work position and fasten the seat
belt.
Before moving the machine, make sure that the sprocket
q
(A) is positioned at the rear of the machine and that the
safety locks are engaged; if the turret is rotated by 180°, the
controls are inverted (see "3.3.5 HOW TO MOVE THE
MACHINE" e "3.3.6 STEERING THE MACHINE").
Use the travel control pedals only when the machine is
q
moving. If a pedal is inadvertently pressed when the
machine is not moving or steering, this may move
suddenly and cause serious accidents.
When travelling or carrying out steering manoeuvres, use
q
the pedals with the maximum care.
When leaving the operator seat, always rotate the pedals to
q
the rest position, in order to avoid pressing them by
mistake.
These levers are used to operate the travel motors (right and left)
and control the forward and reverse travel according to the
movements indicated.
(a) FORWARD: levers pushed forward
(b) REVERSE: levers pulled towards the operator
N (Neutral): machine at rest.
NOTE
If the levers are in the forward or reverse position, the sound
q
alarm goes off to warm that the machine is moving.
When it is necessary to use the travel pedals, the opening
q
operation must be carried out by the operator while correctly
seated in driving position. After use, always rotate the pedals to
the rest position (closed).
IMPORTANT
When the safety lever is in the "locked" position, all the
q
movements are inhibited (see "3.2.3 pos. 1. Safety lever
(control locking lever)").
